• Mace has faced backlash for her rhetoric, with critics accusing her of stereotyping and avoiding substantive dialogue, while some supporters praised her for standing her ground.
• The congresswoman has pledged to hold more town halls but highlighted Republican reluctance toward in-person events due to confrontations over party policies.
• The incident reflects broader tensions in the GOP over constituent engagement, identity politics, and the use of social media to shape political narratives.
