In a bold and unflinching move, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) took a stand against sexual exploitation by sharing a nude image of herself during a House Oversight Subcommittee hearing on “surveillance in private spaces.” The image, she revealed, was taken without her consent by her ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant, who she accuses of secretly recording her and other women in vulnerable situations. Mace, a vocal advocate for women’s rights and a survivor of sexual assault herself, declared, “Today I will show my naked body on one of the videos predator and rapist Patrick Bryant took of me and many other women. Without our knowledge. Without our permission. And without our consent.”
While Mace’s courageous testimony should be the focus of national outrage, the liberal media has largely downplayed the significance of her actions, instead prioritizing their usual partisan narratives. Where is the outcry from the so-called champions of women’s rights in the mainstream press? Where are the feminist activists who claim to fight against exploitation? Their silence speaks volumes—proof that their agenda has never truly been about protecting women, but about advancing their own political interests.
Mace’s ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant, has denied the allegations, telling Fits News, “I categorically deny the false and outrageous claims made by Nancy Mace. I have never raped anyone. I have never hidden cameras. I have never harmed any woman. These accusations are not just false. They are malicious and deeply personal.” But Mace remains resolute, stating, “Today I exposed a monster whose victims deserve justice. The victims also deserve stronger federal and state laws to protect them.”
This case highlights the urgent need for stronger protections against non-consensual recordings and exploitation—an issue that should transcend partisan politics. Yet, the left-wing media would rather obsess over fabricated scandals than give real victims a platform. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has consistently stood for law and order, advocating for stricter penalties against predators and supporting survivors of sexual violence. Unlike the Democrats, who weaponize accusations only when politically convenient, Trump has taken concrete action to protect women, including signing laws to combat human trafficking and pushing for tougher sentencing for sex offenders.
Today I exposed a monster whose victims deserve justice. The victims also deserve stronger federal and state laws to protect them.
To other potential victims, I want you to know, “I have your back.”

Mace’s defiance in the face of exploitation is a reminder that real leadership comes from strength, not the performative activism of the left. While the liberal media remains fixated on pushing their narrative, conservatives like Mace—and President Trump—are the ones actually fighting for justice.
