Laura Loomer, a dedicated supporter of President Donald Trump, may have subtly criticized Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) after the congresswoman shared her road trip to Capitol Hill on social media.
In a series of consecutive posts on X, Mace documented her nine-hour journey to Washington, D.C., to cast her vote for the president’s "big, beautiful bill," following the cancellation of her flight due to a severe weather alert. Dressed in heart-patterned pajamas, Mace vlogged her various stops along the route on Tuesday night, which included visits to a Wawa and a Waffle House.
I would like a side of hash browns, smothered, tapped, diced, and peppered. Additionally, I would like a waffle with chocolate chips, similar to what the young lady at the end of the aisle ordered," she shared in a video early Wednesday while placing her order.
In another clip, Mace was seen getting out of the van, mentioning that she had arrived just one hour before the vote, and she also posted a separate video of her walking down the hallway as her dog approached her office door.
"Come hell or high water, we were determined to vote on the Big, Beautiful Bill today," Mace stated.
Loomer, though not mentioning Mace by name, took to X on Wednesday, writing “I think social media has made a lot of our members of Congress care more about being celebrities than doing their jobs in Congress.”
“They really want to be watched and adored. They seem to think we care about their day to day lives and personal drama. Some of them have meltdowns on IG stories,” Loomer wrote.
“Can you just do your job and go vote?” she added
Loomer then replied “case in point” and directly tagged Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), who said in a video that his flight was cancelled, and noted that he was driving to Chicago to catch one of the first flights.
“This is part of the glamorous life of Congress, I guess,” Pocan said in a video diary. “Gonna get back though to vote ‘no’ for sure, and I’ll keep you updated on everything as things go on the next couple days.”
Some users had speculated that Loomer was indirectly referring to Mace, who posted over a dozen times about her trip.
“I like Nancy Mace but she might be the rights AOC when it comes trying to be a celebrity! She puts out some cringe social media content!” someone wrote.
Another added: “Must be this!!”
Congressional Republican leaders are pushing for a Wednesday vote in the House on the GOP’s sweeping budget megabill, which had narrowly passed the Senate on Tuesday. They are hoping to meet Trump’s Fourth of July deadline for the legislative package to advance to his desk.
The bill would extend his signature first-term tax cuts, while cutting funding to government programs like Medicaid. Democrats have remained as a united front against the legislation, while Republicans still need to win over some holdouts, having often succeeded by only one vote along the way.
