Rep. Nancy Mace Exposes Career Politician Alan Wilson’s Security Double Standard
Alan Wilson Mocked Conservative Woman’s Security Needs as "Entitlement" on National Television—Then Quietly Secured His Own Detail
CHARLESTON, S.C. (Jan. 2, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace called out the blatant hypocrisy of South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who is now starting the year with a dedicated security detail his office quietly requested while publicly mocking Rep. Mace for seeking basic protection amid thousands of credible threats.
Last month, Wilson dismissed Rep. Mace's legitimate security concerns as those of an "entitled" and "spoiled brat," despite her office documenting over 1,300 credible death threats annually. During this same time period, Wilson quietly obtained the very security protection he ridiculed the Congresswoman for seeking.
"It’s rich how security is ‘entitlement’ when it’s a Conservative woman who calls it like she sees it, but perfectly justified when it’s Alan Wilson," said Congresswoman Mace. "Classic career politician who thinks his own rules don’t apply to him."
The threats against Rep. Mace are credible, constant, and undeniable. Her fellow South Carolina delegation members have publicly acknowledged the severity of the danger she faces daily.
Representative Ralph Norman stated, “...Nancy gets more death threats than probably anyone.”
Senator Lindsey Graham added, “...Nancy is right. There’s some pretty angry people out there...”
Rep. Mace’s threats have materialized into concrete actions requiring law enforcement intervention.
Last month, a South Carolina judge denied bond for the third time to Samuel Theodore Cain, who threatened to shoot and kill Rep. Mace earlier this year. The threat triggered immediate law enforcement response and forced substantial changes to the Congresswoman's family security protocols. Even from behind bars, Cain's threat persisted. According to information provided to authorities by a confidential informant, when asked whether he would still assassinate Rep. Mace following the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, Cain responded affirmatively without hesitation. Cain represents just one case among hundreds of documented threats.
The current political environment has seen an alarming escalation of violence against public officials nationwide, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, two attempts on President-elect Donald Trump's life, and the murder of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman.
Following Kirk's assassination, Rep. Mace's office was inundated with threats from individuals who left explicit threats of violence and death on her voicemail. A selection of these disturbing recordings is available HERE.
“Alan Wilson called me ‘entitled’ and ‘spoiled’ for asking for help after receiving more than 1,300 credible death threats each year, with multiple individuals incarcerated for making those threats,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “He then quietly requested the same protection he mocked me for seeking. Alan Wilson is a coward.”
