Nancy Mace Rejects Arab American Heritage Month Proclamation
nancy mace criticized South Carolina’s Arab American Heritage Month proclamation today, calling it pandering that does nothing to improve the lives of South Carolina families. She said American law will be the only law governing South Carolina on her watch and pointed to Islamville in York County, South Carolina.
Mace’s Columbia Message
The congresswoman and gubernatorial candidate tied her remarks to a broader campaign message built around taxes, roads and corruption in Columbia. She has centered her run on eliminating the state income tax through her Five Years to Zero plan, fixing SC infrastructure and rooting out corruption in Columbia.
“How does this proclamation lower the cost of groceries? How does it fix our potholes? How does it cut one dollar from a family’s tax bill?” Mace said. “It doesn’t.” She also said the proclamation was “exactly the kind of pandering that has defined Columbia for too long, and it has to stop.”
Islamville And State Law
Mace’s comments moved from the proclamation to a sharper warning about religious and legal influence in the state. “When I’m Governor, neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor radical Islam will flourish in South Carolina,” she said. “Not in any town in our state. Sharia law will have no home here.”
The exchange places a state heritage-month proclamation inside Mace’s larger pitch to voters: she is using it to argue that Columbia is focused on symbolic gestures while she is promising a campaign centered on government, cost and law. For readers in South Carolina, the immediate question is not about a ceremonial month on its own, but about how Mace plans to turn that criticism into votes in a governor’s race.
South Carolina families are struggling with rising costs, crumbling roads and a state income tax that dampens their paychecks every single month, according to the source material behind her campaign message. Mace has made that argument part of her case for bold new leadership focused on real results, and she used today’s proclamation to sharpen it.
