'Hard truth': Nancy Mace says Pelosi was a better House speaker [View all]

A prominent Republican congresswoman this week shamed GOP leaders, alleging Rep. Nancy Pelosi "was a more effective Speaker than any Republican this century," arguing Republicans should learn from her leadership and claiming the party is marginalizing rank-and-file members, including women.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who represents South Carolina's first congressional district, which covers parts of Charleston, cited issues maintaining where there was a "bipartisan supermajority," votes were nearly impossible to get bills passed.

In an op-ed for The New York Times published Monday, Dec. 8, Mace wrote she came to Congress five years ago "believing I could make a difference for my constituents, for South Carolina and for a country I love deeply," but learned "the system in the House promotes control by party leaders over accountability and achievement."

Mace, 48, became the first Republican woman elected to Congress from the state in 2021 and has criticized President Donald Trump over the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack. But she has since become one of his closest allies.
