EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is firing back at accusations she directed staffers to create so-called "burner" accounts to boost her image online, telling Fox News Digital the claims are from "bitter exes" and lack any real proof.
"When a story relies on ‘anonymous former staffers,’ it’s journalist-speak for ‘We didn’t have anything real, so we called the bitter exes,’" Mace said, responding to a recent article published by Wired magazine.
The article cited former aides and consultants, including a deposition from political consultant Wesley Donehue, to allege Mace used burner accounts and even automated bots to amplify her political messaging.
