The press conference the media doesn't want you to see.
We stood with over one dozen mothers demanding answers.
Why aren't predators being prosecuted in South Carolina? Why is our children's safety being put last?
Since the media refuses to cover it, WE will.
Watch the full press conference they don't want you to see.
Share it everywhere. Silence protects predators. Our kids deserve better.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 22, 2026) – During yesterday’s House Oversight Committee hearing on holding former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for ignoring a Congressional subpoena to appear in front of the House Oversight Committee, Congresswoman Nancy Mace delivered searing remarks condemning political hypocrisy, media silence, and a justice system which fails victims of sex trafficking, abuse, and violent crimes.
The justice system in South Carolina is BROKEN.
Victims of domestic violence can't get trials.
Sex trafficking is up over 400%.
Convicted pedophiles are being let out of jail with no time served.
Criminals with RAP sheets listing over 30 violent crimes are walking free to murder or reoffend.
NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT ANY OF IT.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 21, 2026) - Today, Representative Nancy Mace (SC-01) announced her support for contempt of Congress proceedings against former President Bill Clinton for defying a Congressional subpoena related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Rep. Mace released the following statement:
"I'm the only member of this Committee who has held people in contempt on BOTH sides. Republicans AND Democrats. If you defy a Congressional Subpoena, you get held in contempt. No one is above the law.
We stand with every mom who wants nothing more than for their child to be safe. We stand with you on the road to ensure predators get the punishments and JAIL TIME they deserve.
This is what protects children.
Violent offenders are walking free because South Carolina’s Attorney General refuses to hold prosecutors accountable.
When prosecutors take federal money but decline to charge cases involving child abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking, the public deserves answers and consequences.
Public records reveal that in one South Carolina county, the majority of child sexual exploitation cases were dismissed with zero jury convictions.
South Carolina deserves better than a justice system protecting child predators.
Our children come first. Prosecute predators. Keep them behind bars.
HOLD THE LINE.
Seventy years. This is what Travis Reed Gaye faced for sexually exploiting a minor. He violated probation and walked free just hours later.
South Carolina went three years with zero jury trials for child predators, with cases pled down behind closed doors. No trials. No accountability. No justice for children.
We introduced the Preventing Prosecutors from Protecting Predators Act to expose a system failing our children and to demand accountability from prosecutors nationwide.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (Jan. 16, 2026) – Congresswoman Nancy Mace issued the following statement after Attorney General Alan Wilson released data showing three counties in South Carolina's First Congressional District ranked among the highest in the state for human trafficking in 2025:
These moms are mountain movers.
It took five years of mothers organizing across South Carolina to criminalize luring a child to a vehicle, because it wasn't considered illegal until the door closed behind them. THIS is the power of mothers who refuse to quit.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with them in demanding better for our children in South Carolina.
