Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) stopped by ABC News’ ‘This Week’ with host Jonathan Karl to discuss the current tumult in the GOP-led House calling for Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s ousting for promises not kept.
The issue was pushed into the forefront by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz last week during remarks on the House floor. “On this very floor in January, the whole world witnessed a historic contest for House Speaker. I rise today to serve notice. Mr. Speaker, you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role,” the Sunshine State Rep. said.
Now, fellow House Republican Nancy Mace says she’s open to ousting the Speaker
“Could you see yourself under any circumstances supporting a motion to vacate against McCarthy?” Karl asked.
“It hasn’t happened yet and I’m not going to comment on conjecture here,” she said. “Either he’s going to file it or he’s not. If he’s going to do it, put his money where his mouth is. I do hear that some votes might be up for grabs because people were made promises that have not been kept.”
“What about your vote, is it up for grabs?” Karl asked. “I mean could you support that effort?”
Mace responded, “We’ll see how it turns out. But I will tell you, I’m one of those members who were made certain promises. I’ve worked on women’s issues, I’ve worked on issues, you know, related to gun violence I feel are very important and, you know, it’s fallen on deaf ears. And if I give a handshake to someone, I expect them to follow through with it.”
“Everything’s on the table at this point for me because I want to do the right thing for the American people,” Mace said. “I want to do the right thing for women, I’m trying to show, here’s a path forward for women post Roe for birth control, for women who are rape survivors, et cetera.”
