A fabricated screenshot claiming Rep Nancy Mace was ousted from Congress over a controversial social media post has triggered widespread online debate
WASHINGTON, DC: Social media users recently shared a rumor alleging that Rep Nancy Mace (R-SC) lost her congressional seat following a post that targeted Jewish public officials and likened them to a “Trojan Horse.” The allegation quickly generated significant backlash and confusion online, with many demanding verification.
While the accompanying screenshot led numerous users to assume the remarks were authentic, the image was entirely doctored. There is zero validity to the claims that Mace authored the statement or faced removal from office.
Claim: Nancy Mace ousted from Congress over viral anti-Semitic post
According to the viral narrative, the South Carolina Republican was stripped of her duties after publishing a prejudiced remark concerning Jews.
The manipulated image displayed a fake quote attributed to Mace: “Every Jew holding public office in America is a trojan horse, and a threat to both national security and our republic,” which concluded with the phrase, “We refuse to be silent.”
Amassing over a hundred thousand views, the post drew sharp rebukes from commenters condemning the supposed bigotry, demonstrating that a substantial portion of the audience took the image at face value. Simultaneously, skeptical users urged others to verify the information.
Fact Check: The viral image originated from a satirical profile
The rumor is entirely false. Mace never published such statements, and a thorough review of her verified X (formerly Twitter) history shows no matching content.
Furthermore, standard news searches reveal no credible reporting about any disciplinary action or removal concerning Mace. An event of that magnitude would unquestionably draw widespread media attention.
The deceptive image was actually published by an X account named ‘The Babylon Bibi,’ which explicitly labels itself as a satire platform.
The parody appeared to draw inspiration from a genuine, previously published statement by Mace that instead targeted Muslims. In that authentic post, she wrote, “Every single Muslim holding public office in America is a Trojan horse and a threat to both national security and our republic.”
The fabricators of the viral screenshot simply swapped out the word ‘Muslim‘ for ‘Jew,’ generating a false narrative directed at a different demographic.
Background on Mace’s tensions with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib
Mace’s actual post about Muslims was followed by additional commentary regarding immigration, in which she asserted, “This is an invasion. There is no other way to put it.”
She also added, “Every American who watched this country get attacked on its own soil and said ‘never again’ deserved better than this.”
These remarks aligned with Mace’s history of political friction involving progressive Democratic Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
Following the March death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mace directed a taunt at the two lawmakers, posting, “My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers.”
Ultimately, the viral screenshot was a product of the satirical account ‘The Babylon Bibi,’ confirming that the claims regarding Mace’s removal from office are entirely unfounded.
