Overview
- On Sunday, Mace posted the intro video for her new YouTube series Get Maced in which she goes sleeveless to show multiple previously private tattoos.
- She told Politico the nine tattoos were done between late 2023 and early 2024 during a breakup and staff departures and that the ink gave her “the pain that I need to feel.”
- Visible designs identified by outlets include the word “Justice,” a lion, an image resembling the Virgin Mary or a Catholic saint, a large bird, a flower, a sun, and the opening line from Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway.
- Early Get Maced episodes feature partisan cultural topics such as the WNBA, commentary about Sophie Cunningham, a video on a claimed “communist threat,” and remarks about “radical Islam” in parts of Michigan, and the channel showed about 31,000 subscribers on launch day.
- The reveal drew wide media attention and mocking responses on social platforms, and outlets across the political spectrum framed the move as part of Mace’s post-congressional repositioning after a failed governor bid and a public split from some party allies.
