Anti-Trump Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has been described by former staffers as “crazy erratic” in her handling of issues and has often been known to “exclaim passionately” about her hatred of former President Donald Trump.

Politico reported about how Mace has struggled to find “her footing” in D.C. between her reported hatred of Trump and how she has struggled to manage the turnover in her congressional office.

One former staffer for Mace described her as “crazy erratic” in her handling of issues and said she often disregarded policy advice.

The staffer said, “You’ll sit down in a meeting to talk about policy and stuff and she’ll start the meeting off by just saying, ‘Just so you know, I’m not going to fucking listen to anything going on here.’”

Instead, the congresswoman has focused more on “what’s sexy” for political positions that can garner significant media attention.

Three former Mace aides have claimed the congresswoman was often known to “exclaim passionately” about how much she hated Trump.

Mace has often bucked Republican party lines, including when she voted in favor of criminal contempt charges for Steve Bannon in October, which sharply divided her colleagues. In response, Trump labeled her “absolutely terrible.”

The 45th president brought Arrington on stage at a South Carolina rally in mid-March. Trump said:

Katie Arrington is a fighter for the people of South Carolina.

They will be tough on crime, strong on borders, strong on election integrity, and they will support our military and our vets, and they will never appease the fake news or the radical left. So I want to ask everybody in this incredible state, I love this state. I want them to have the same kind of vote that you gave me, so get out and vote for Russell Fry and Katie Arrington in the primary on June 14.

During the rally, Arrington compared Mace to Never Trump Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY).

“So, you know, I have a name for Nancy Mace,” Arrington said. “I call her Liz Cheney of the South. You like that? It’s all for you, big guy. It’s true. It’s true.”
