GOP Rep. Nancy Mace—who is currently running as a South Carolina gubernatorial candidate—was reportedly forced to cancel a Thursday speech after nearly no one bothered to show up.

Mace was set to address a local chapter of the far-right organization Moms for Liberty, but changed course after only eight people showed up, My Horry News reported. Mace reportedly slunk away backstage to avoid addressing the situation directly, before pivoting to speaking with those in attendance individually—and taking some questions from the media, of course.
