Mace Criticized for Wearing 'Scarlet Letter A' Shirt After Voting Against McCarthy

Rep. Nancy Mace wore a red "A" shirt, referencing "The Scarlett Letter", after feeling "demonized" for voting against Kevin McCarthy.

Critics mocked Mace for seemingly not understanding the "A" stands for "adulterer" in the novel she referenced.

Writer Thor Benson said Mace should read the book before referencing it.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett implied Mace didn't know the letter's meaning in the novel.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Mace's vote against McCarthy was not courageous but "desperately trying to be liked."
