The announcement follows the news of an upcoming event in the Lowcountry, promoted as a “family-friendly” event, but includes a drag show for children.

This Saturday, QT (Queer Trans) Camp is hosting the “Creepy QT Halloween Party” in North Charleston. Any child over the age of 12 can attend – alone. Any child under the age of 12, can attend accompanied by any one over the age of 12. QT Camp is the primary host of the event, with additional promoters and supporters including Lowcountry Period Pixies, Charleston Pride, the Democratic Socialists of America, Free Mom Hugs, and the Palmetto State Abortion Fund.

“There’s no such thing as an ‘age-appropriate’ drag show,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “This event would allow a 5-year-old to watch a drag show with their 13-year-old sibling. When I’m Governor, this will NOT happen on my watch.”

Drag performer, Velma Dearwood, is expected to perform at the “halloween carnival” this Saturday at 4 PM.

Tuesday, the Nancy Mace for Governor campaign called out the event in a social media video.

“As Governor, South Carolina will have new laws to protect children,” said Rep. Nancy Mace. “We won’t allow South Carolina to be a safe haven for grooming children.”

ABC 4, a local news station in Charleston, South Carolina, wrote an article discussing the organizers’ response to Mace’s “claims” of the event being inappropriate for the ages allowed into the event.

“The radical Left is furious I exposed a drag show for kids,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “Let it be known — I will never allow our children to be exposed to sexually explicit entertainment. There is NOTHING wrong with protecting our kids.”

Mace added, “And if you think it’s a good thing to expose kids to sexually explicit organizations or material, drag shows, tr*ns or queer ideology, then you are the problem.”
