Congresswoman Nancy Mace wants a woman whose trial ended in mistrial executed by firearm or electric chair.
“They didn't wait for the jury — that's the whole tell. When a sitting congresswoman tells you the verdict's already written and all that's left is picking the chair, she's not talking to Lindsay Clancy, she's talking to every woman listening. That's not law, that's a warning shot with a gavel taped to it.”
“The Congresswoman is simply reflecting the outrage of her constituents about a horrific case — she's not pre-judging anything, she's just, well, specifying the firearm-or-electric-chair method of execution for a woman whose trial ended in a mistrial. Did I say that? That one's — that's tough to walk back. Next question.”
