Hillary Clinton's Spokesman Responds to Nancy Mace, "You Made Something Up, I Corrected You"
Mace said Clinton was unhinged and combative during her deposition, a description Clinton’s spokesperson and Robert Garcia disputed.

SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHY2paragraphs is a blog rather than an established news organization, and the article offers limited reporting beyond quotations and social-media posts. It identifies an author and attributes claims, but provides little evidence of broader editorial or corrections practices.
- Source type — A blog, which carries a lower institutional-reliability prior than established newsrooms.
- Transparency — The article identifies sources for several statements but offers limited transparency about reporting methods.
- Author attribution — An author is named.
- Editorial standards — The text provides no clear evidence of formal editorial or corrections standards.
The article attributes the central claims to Mace, Merrill and Garcia and includes multiple sides of the dispute. It relies primarily on quoted statements and social-media posts, however, and does not independently establish what happened during the deposition.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article quotes Mace’s claims and includes rebuttals from Merrill and Garcia, but it does not offer independent evidence or a response from Mace to their criticism. The competing accounts are present, though the rebuttal side receives substantial support from Garcia’s account.
- Counterarguments presented — Mace’s account is countered by Merrill and Garcia.
- Omitted context — The article says the deposition will be made public but does not provide an independent record of what occurred.
- Source diversity — Several named speakers are quoted, though all accounts are statements by participants or their associates.
- Loaded language — Most charged descriptions are quoted and attributed rather than asserted as the article’s own conclusions.
The report presents Mace’s allegations alongside direct rebuttals from Clinton’s spokesperson and Garcia. Its choice to include Garcia’s criticism of Mace’s questioning and the label “MAGA influencer” gives the presentation a slight tilt against Mace.
- Source selection — Includes Mace’s account and rebuttals from Clinton’s spokesperson and Garcia, but no independent account of the deposition.
- Framing — Emphasizes the challenge to Mace’s description of Clinton’s behavior.
- Language tone — Mostly attributed language, with a mildly loaded reference to Benny Johnson as a “MAGA influencer.”
Rep. Nancy Mace described Hillary Clinton’s deposition behavior as “unhinged and combative”; Clinton’s spokesperson and Rep. Robert Garcia disputed that account. The dispute centers on a House Oversight Committee deposition concerning the Epstein files.
The article says Mace was among House Oversight Committee Republicans who traveled to New York for Clinton’s deposition concerning the Epstein files. Mace posted that Clinton had a “meltdown” and later accused her of screaming and using the 9/11 attacks as a “scapegoat.” The article says Rep. Lauren Boebert took a photo inside the deposition room and sent it to Benny Johnson, who shared it on social media.
Clinton spokesperson Nick Merrill told CNN that Mace was not telling the truth about Clinton’s behavior, then replied to Mace, “You made something up. I corrected you.” Garcia, who was also in the room, said that describing Clinton as screaming was “beyond mischaracterization” and criticized the questions asked. The article says the deposition will be made public soon.
