• The constituent asked Mace about upcoming town halls, prompting her to claim she had already hosted one this year and would hold more, though she has been criticized for avoiding such events.
• During the exchange, Mace invoked her votes for gay marriage, which the constituent questioned as unrelated to his inquiry, escalating the argument further.
• Mace captioned the video by labeling the man an 'unhinged lunatic,' while critics accused her of unnecessarily escalating the situation and using divisive rhetoric.
• The video, viewed millions of times online, highlights broader concerns about Mace's confrontational tactics and the GOP's reduced in-person constituent engagement.
