WASHINGTON, DC: South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was roasted online after attempting to dunk on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, only to accidentally reveal she may not have actually read the Declaration of Independence.

It began with a bold post on X (formerly Twitter), where Mace clapped back at Jeffries for his marathon speech opposing the GOP’s so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill." During his remarks, Jeffries referenced the Declaration and made a pointed historical comparison. That’s when Mace jumped in.

“Did Hakeem Jeffries just say the Declaration of Independence reads like an indictment? Did I hear that right?” she posted.

Turns out, Jeffries was right. The Declaration is, in fact, a detailed list of grievances against King George III, essentially, an indictment, as noted by the Daily Boulder. 



 

Nancy Mace trolled for her response to Hakeem Jeffries' speech

The dragging was swift. Criminal defense attorney Scott Greenfield said, “The Declaration of Independence was, in part, an indictment of King George III. Anyone moderately familiar with the Declaration of Independence would know this.”



 

Alexandria City Councilman R Kirk McPike added, “It should surprise no one that this imbecile has never read the Declaration of Independence.



 

Denver election official Andy Szekeres referenced Mace’s viral pajama moment in DC, writing, “Maybe spend less time cosplaying in pjs, A key part of the Declaration of Independence is an indictment of King George III.”



 

Another user wrote, “If y’all didn’t skip history class, you might know this. Have you ever heard of King George III?”



 

Someone else commented, “Yes, you did, and yes, it was. It was literally an indictment of King George III (read the damn thing), and today it’s an indictment of King Trump.”



 

Another added, “It was an indictment of England’s king, but never having read it, you wouldn’t know that. Like Trump, you’re ignorant of our history but like to pretend you’re a big patriot.”



 

One said, "America, please stop electing stupid people. This is so embarrassing."



 

As of now, Mace has not responded to these attacks.

Hakeem Jeffries breaks house record with 8.5-hour speech to protest GOP Bill

At exactly 4:53 am on July 3 morning, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took to the House floor and began a marathon speech that would go on to break the record for the longest continuous speech in House history.

"People will die. Tens of thousands, perhaps year after year after year, as a result of the Republican assault on the healthcare of the American people," Jeffries warned from the lectern. "I'm sad. I never thought I would be on the House floor saying this is a crime scene."

Eight hours and 33 minutes later, Jeffries had shattered the previous record, which was set by then-Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in 2021 with an 8-hour, 32-minute speech protesting a Democratic social spending and climate bill.



 

Jeffries used the House’s “magic minute” rule, which allows party leaders to speak for as long as they wish — to delay the final vote on a Republican-backed bill that would enact former President Trump’s domestic priorities. The legislation includes sweeping tax cuts and rollbacks to healthcare and social safety nets.

During the speech, Jeffries read letters from constituents in red districts who expressed fear about the bill’s potential impact on their lives, turning his floor time into a full-scale protest.

Hakeem Jeffries criticizes Donald Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

Hakeem Jeffries slammed the legislation championed by President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, who reportedly spent the night making backroom deals to sway reluctant GOP members.

“This is not a ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’” Jeffries said. “It is one big, ugly betrayal of working-class Americans.”



 

House Republicans remained on track to pass the bill, but Jeffries’ speech served as a warning flare ahead of the 2026 midterms, where Democrats are expected to frame Trump’s economic agenda as a direct attack on everyday Americans.

Just three months earlier, Senator Cory Booker set a record of his own with a 25-hour marathon speech in the Senate, rebuking the Trump administration, Time magazine noted.
