South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace took to X on Friday, September 18, 2026, to mock California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling him a "d***" in a post that quoted a TMZ.com story about her experiences with unsolicited messages from suitors.
Mace's post included a photograph of Newsom and a caption that read, "Someone just sent me this d*** pic. I said stop." The remark was made publicly on X, according to TMZ.com.
The congresswoman's jab followed a recent interview she gave to TMZ.com on Capitol Hill, during which she expressed uncertainty about dating in an environment where men send explicit images. Mace has never been friendly with Newsom, but the timing of her latest insult appears pointed.
The two politicians clashed publicly in 2025 after Fox News reported that federal immigration agents had raided a California cannabis farm operated by Graham Farrar, a cofounder of Glass House Farms. According to the outlet, Farrar had previously contributed $10,000 to Newsom's Democratic campaigns.
Newsom responded to the report by sharing an image of Farrar's cofounder, Kyle Kazan, posing alongside Mace, a staunch conservative, both smiling broadly. In a trolling message, the governor wrote, "Sure is rich for Fox News and the Trump Admin to point to campaign donations to Democrats, when in fact, the CEO is a Trump supporter who donated to my recall and has given to more Republicans."
Mace fired back on X, accusing Newsom of permitting murderers, rapists, and pedophiles to remain free during his tenure. She also challenged him to a debate, vowing to "emasculate every one" of his positions, though the event never took place.
The ongoing animosity between Mace and Newsom shows no signs of abating, with the latest exchange underscoring their enduring political rivalry.
