Former aides to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) vehemently disputed her claims that they “sabotaged” her office by hacking her phone, mismanaging the office budget, spying on her children and trying to destroy electronic devices with water.

Mace alleged the staff misconduct in a story published Friday by DailyMail.com, which noted she “fired or lost nine staffers from her Washington D.C. office” over a three-month period.

Members of Congress rarely take aim at ex-aides so publicly and with such specific allegations. But the turmoil between Mace and former staffers has played out in public view over the past year as staff has cycled through her office.

Mace, who won election to Congress in 2020, initially positioned herself as a moderating force in the Republican Party on issues such as abortion and gun violence, attracting national fame and widespread media attention. But Mace’s shifting positions on debt ceiling legislation, abortion restrictions in a defense-spending bill, and former president Donald Trump alienated some of her former allies. Her detractors and opponents — and some of her colleagues — came to view her as an attention hog, uninterested in crafting policy and singularly focused on elevating herself on television and social media.

That there are those amongst us who spend so much energy alienating others. So many that don’t know there is strength in humility and responsibility.

2. Another Republican with no personal management skills. It's like an operating characteristic.

Wouldn't you love to know what it's like working in MTG's office? If I die, I hope I don't get sent there.

3. Why don't you just blame Biden for your problems like all the MAGAts do?
