Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) faced backlash online after claiming, without evidence, that Democrats might attempt to “steal” the certification of Donald Trump as president.
Her remarks, posted on social media, drew criticism as overly dramatic and unnecessary, especially given the routine nature of the certification process, which proceeded without incident.
The comments came on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, leading many to contrast the peaceful proceedings with past unrest.
