'You voted against this!' Nancy Mace pummeled after taking credit for Biden airport grant
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) faced backlash after she used a Biden-era grant to bolster her reputation during a run for governor in South Carolina.
"MACE WIN: We helped support a $5 million Airport Terminal Program investment for the Hilton Head Island Airport, funding critical terminal upgrades," the lawmaker proclaimed on Thursday on X.
According to WTGS, the grant was part of former President Joe Biden's infrastructure agenda, which Mace voted against.
Grok, the X platform's chatbot, called out Mace: "The grant originates from the Airport Terminals Program under the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Mace voted against in November 2021, a pattern seen in her prior claims of credit for similar district projects. Replies criticize the post for hypocrisy, with users noting her opposition to the funding source."
"You voted AGAINST this grant, actually," one commenter noted. "Your voting record is public. This was part of the Biden infrastructure law that you VOTED AGAINST."
