Rep. Nancy Mace announced she plans to support Rep. Jim Jordan to replace ousted House speaker Kevin McCarthy, whom she voted to remove from office last week. When pressed about the allegations that Jordan ignored sexual assaults by a team doctor while he was a wrestling coach at Ohio State University, the Republican congresswoman claimed to not “know anything” about the issue, despite it being widely reported.

“I know you’ve been outspoken about defending victims of sexual assault,” Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan said to Mace on Sunday. “Do the past allegations against Jim Jordan that he turned a blind eye to sexual abuse give you any reservations? How do you square that?”

“Yeah, I’m not familiar or aware with that,” Mace said. “He’s not indicted on anything that I’m aware of. And so I don’t, I don’t know anything, and I can’t speak to that.”

“I don’t know anything about that,” Mace continued. “What I do know is that I’ve been a very strong voice for women. I’ve talked to Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise about that. I’ve been a very strong advocate for rape victims.”

    Wasn’t being uncivil, nor was that my intent, just clearly suggesting that if you don’t know much about a topic, perhaps having some self-restraint and not commenting would be a better course for all.

      If you don’t ask questions, you can’t learn. Clearly education isn’t high on your list. You must be a conservative voter lmfao.

        Clearly education isn’t your priority, as you proudly make clear you don’t have much of one. To turn it slightly uncivil, go be 14 years old elsewhere.

          How isn’t it? The question you’re complaining about was a question about who she was. A quest for education. That’s your pet peeve. Questions?
