Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) attempted to troll President Joe Biden on Thursday, but the White House ended up with the high ground on social media.
Mace posted on X, formerly Twitter, that “Biden is MIA” and asked, “Why is no one talking about it?”
Biden is MIA. Why is no one talking about it?

Although Mace probably thought she was scoring political points, that’s not exactly what happened.
Right around the time Mace was claiming Biden was missing in action, news broke that his administration had arranged a massive prisoner exchange deal involving multiple countries. The deal freed eight Americans, including journalist Evan Gershkovich and Marine veteran Paul Whelan.
RawStory noted that many people slammed the congresswoman’s badly timed post but, perhaps, no troll tweet hit harder than the one posted by the White House, which needed only three words to put Mace in her place.
Those three words? “He’s been busy,” posted above Biden’s own message about the hostage release.
The reaction to the White House’s mocking of Mace was pretty heated.
What is Nancy Mace up to? Oh wait, the House is in recess.

Mace responded to the White House mockery a few hours later, trying to spin things in her favor by claiming the president was “busy letting off the mastermind behind 9/11.”
But that just led to more mockery and receipts.
Meanwhile you’re busy exploiting 9/11

You violate the honor code on a daily basis. For someone who’s not supposed to lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do, you sure do a lot of lying and tolerating.

Liar. Please provide any and all evidence that you can produce to prove that Biden had anything whatsoever to do with the plea deal that will keep Mohammed in jail for the rest of his life. The DOD Rear Admiral in charge wrote that the decision was made by the prosecution team.

Her’s a congresswoman gaslighting America. The mastermind and the others were sentenced to life in prison and they were sentenced that because they were illegally tortured! That would have come out in trial. Mace is just another traitor to the truth !

The Convening Authority for Military Commissions entered into pretrial agreements that will mean life in prison an agreement to respond to questions from the verified 9/11 family members – something a trial would not have offered.
