Representative Nancy Mace announced Thursday that what started as a mission to rescue a single South Carolina family from the Middle East escalated into a “full scale evacuation” of hundreds of Americans from the region. Mace, who is currently seeking the GOP nomination for governor in her home state, shared on X early Thursday morning that she had just returned from Israel the previous night on a flight filled with rescued Americans.
She emphasized that when people are stranded in a war zone, facing missiles and rockets, the only acceptable response is to get them out. Mace recounted how she discovered that thousands of individuals remained trapped in the Middle East even after the family she initially aimed to assist had safely returned to the U.S.
