Republican Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina is being sued for defamation by one of the four men she publicly accused of sexual abuse in an incendiary speech she made on the floor of the House of Representatives last month.
In February, Mace took to the House floor to accuse her ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant, and three other men of rape, sex trafficking and voyeurism. In a nearly hour-long speech, she shared intimate details of the alleged attack, claiming the men recorded sex acts without her consent.
