Mace, who represents South Carolina’s First Congressional District, spoke on increased violence in the political world saying her own campaign received daily death threats during her recent contentious primary race.
“I’ve been victim, too, over the years and it’s only gotten worse,” she said. “It’s very dangerous out there with the political violence that we have seen.”
She encouraged people to be mindful of rhetoric. “I would be mindful about how we talk to one another. Social media has really distanced us from other humans, from our neighbors, and from people in our community.”
