Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) revealed flirtatious text messages she received from a CNN panelist and officially entered the written exchange into the Congressional record.
The messages between Mace and Professor Michael Eric Dyson followed their fiery clash on the network.
Dyson criticized Mace on-air for mispronouncing Kamala Harris’ name.
“When you disrespect Kamala Harris by saying you will call her anything you want, I know you don’t intend it to be that way. That’s the history and legacy of white disregard for the humanity of black people,” Dyson said.
“So now you’re calling me a racist,” Mace responded.
WATCH:
Mace revealed Dyson sent her flirtatious texts after their heated exchange on the network.
“I entered his texts into the Congressional Record today on the Oversight committee when one of my Left-wing colleagues tried to bring up the fake outrage over mispronouncing Kamala (neither can the Dems). Professor Dyson wasn’t too bent out of shape after all – he tried hitting on me AFTER he tried to call me racist on CNN,” Mace said.
“I ofc didn’t take the bait. Either time,” she added.

“I would like to enter into the record a screenshot of a text message I received from the esteemed professor from Vanderbilt, Michael Eric Dyson,” Mace said.
“After my CNN interview, he begged me for photos in this text. He says after calling me racist on CNN, ‘Don’t tell anybody we look good together,’ and sent me a kissy emoji,” she continued.

Daily Mail reports:
Mace made a point of many different people pronouncing the name of Harris differently including Bill Clinton. But she pointedly tried to humiliate Dyson as she continued her remarks.
‘The guy says I’m gorgeous in all these photos. I don’t think he’s that bent out of shape on how anyone pronounces Kamala,’ Mace said.
‘And if we’re going to have that standard, you gotta hold it to both sides, not just one or the other.’
Dyson protested Mace’s assertions, calling them ‘lies.’
‘The ridiculous lies told by Nancy Mace in the effort to smear my name because of her anger at being checked for her insensitive disregard for the vice president,’ he wrote on social media.
‘I had no intent with her to do anything but be nice. And her white women’s tears and mendacity are all in the service of lies and distortions.’
Dyson concluded that Mace was a racist, after the congresswoman shared his private texts.
‘I was wrong about one thing: she IS a bigot and racist,’ he concluded.
