Rep. Nancy Mace criticized social media users who mocked her new arm tattoos, saying her biceps should not be a news story. The article also reports criticism of Mace’s response from former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis.
Mace appeared with tattoos on her arms during the launch of her YouTube show, “Get Maced.” Social media users mocked the tattoos, including one who called them a “Midlife crisis” and another who compared a congressional photo with a tattooed image. Mace later said people seemed affected by her sleeves and that there were more important things to worry about.
Jenna Ellis responded to Mace’s post by arguing that Mace knew the tattoos would become a story and was now addressing the resulting controversy.
