Rep. Mace Demands Public Execution For Lindsay Clancy
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,
Speaking to TMZ DC on Monday, the South Carolina Republican called Clancy a "serial killer" and demanded the death penalty as a public spectacle.
"Her children are dead. She should be dead too," she said. "She should get the death penalty. It should be public. It should be a public execution."
I didn't know you could bleep the word retarded?
— Nancy Mace (@NancyMace) September 15, 2026When the reporter asked what that would look like, Mace did not retreat. "It could be by a firearm; it could be the electric chair. I don't really care. Not an injection."
Pressed again on whether she wanted Clancy in the electric chair in front of a crowd, she answered, "A hundred percent." Then she put the point in the plainest English available: "She's a serial killer. She should get the electric chair. She should get the death penalty. It should be public. It should be a warning to women everywhere. You don't kill your kids."
She later posted on X that Clancy "doesn't deserve to live." After TMZ bleeped a slur she used for Clancy's lawyer, she posted again: "I didn't know you could bleep the word retarded?"
Massachusetts has not carried out an execution since 1947. Its highest court struck down the state's capital statute in 1984. First-degree murder there means life without parole.
Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, has spent the trial arguing postpartum psychosis and a lack of criminal responsibility for the murders. Prosecutors said she cleared the house, chose a method (strangulation) that worked on the children, and chose a different method for herself that failed.
After 21 days of testimony, more than 80 witnesses and roughly 38 hours of deliberations, the jury hung. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4. The defense has said the split was 11-1 for not criminally responsible.
One juror - described in coverage as a Black man in his 30s - would not sign that finding. Reddington tried to have him ejected. The judge refused. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court denied an emergency appeal. Outside court, Reddington said the other jurors had been "robbed by one man, for whatever his agenda was," and added, "I hope that guy can sleep well at night."
In mid-August, hundreds of women in pink gathered outside Plymouth Superior Court for a "Stand in Peace." They cheered when Clancy's transport arrived. Organizer Renee Kimball said, "I think that every one of us women believe that it could be any one of us." Another supporter put it more bluntly on camera: "It could be me."
Online, the same cohort poured money into a GoFundMe for Clancy's parents that raced toward seven figures. TikTok mothers filmed themselves "relating" to the confessed killer while holding their own infants. Some insisted Patrick must have done it, in spite of Lindsay's admissions, her lawyer's opening, the 911 tape and the lawsuit that says she killed the children.
After the mistrial, Patrick Clancy's lawyers said he and his family had been hit with "a relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign" from "minor celebrities, so-called influencers and outright conspiracy theorists" selling the lie that the father was involved.
Attorney Howard Cooper said the smear sat "at a fever pitch," with real threats to Patrick's reputation, livelihood and life. "Enough is enough - this spread of blatant and baseless falsehoods must stop," Cooper said.
Law enforcement was notified. Patrick has said before that he forgives Lindsay and calls her ill rather than evil. That distinction has not interested the people targeting him.
While the Clancy jury was still out, an Illinois mother named Corie Walsh hanged her 2-year-old son, Barrett, from a basement rafter in Frankfort. She told police the boy was the "devil" and the "anti-Christ." Witnesses said she had become "very invested" in the Clancy trial and was still texting friends about it hours before the child was found.
Her lawyer reached for the same word the pink shirts have been rehearsing: psychotic episode. Prosecutors said she spoke of harming the remaining children and her husband.
Then Oprah flew in for a "watershed" taping branded as understanding postpartum psychosis. A doctor in the room demanded "the same passion for people who don't look like Lindsay," complained about "melanin" and "privilege," and asked the audience to keep "the pink shirts and the energy" for other women in prison "for this same thing." The room cheered.
When a young woman stood up and said, "I do believe she's a murderer," Oprah answered: "After all you've heard today?"
That is the moral arithmetic this case has been selling. The children are scenery. The mother is the cause. The man who will not play along is the problem.
Last week Reddington went on Good Morning America and asked President Trump to pardon his client. "Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady and the person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon," he said. A president cannot wipe away a Massachusetts murder case. Reddington knows that. Mace called the stunt "nasty" and "ugly."
Trump has not played chaplain to the fan club. After the mistrial he said Clancy "did a horrible, horrible thing," that "there'll be a price," and that it would be "mental institution or jail or something."
Asked again after the pardon plea, he said it is "a state situation, not a federal one." "There is no winner there," he added. "There's no win no matter what you do. Three children are dead."
Mace added child rapists to her list of public executions and asked the only follow-up that matters in a culture that medicalizes everything except the bodies in the basement: "If people can get away with murdering children, what else can they do? ... There are no rules. There are no laws."

Following last month's ugly decline ("see the consumer is getting crushed because of Trump"), August's retail sales is expected to rebound strongly ("see, Trump's war is causing Americans to spend more on gas and less on Louboutin shoes"). BofA's omniscient analysts agree with consensus, seeing a 0.8% MoM jump...
Quick reality check - July retail sales weakness was driven by a plunge in non-discretionary spending by higher income households...
So, what did August bring?
Headline US retail sales rose a shocking 1.2% MoM - the biggest jump since March, pulling sales up 6.0% YoY...
...driven by a big reversal in non-store retailer (online) sales...
Core (Ex-Autos & Gas) soared 1.4% MoM - its strongest month since Sept 2024
The Control Group - which feeds into the GDP calculation - jumped almost triple expectations (+1.4% MoM vs +0.5% exp).
Under the hood, Building Materials Sales were the only component that declined MoM...
Finally, Real retail sales - admittedly roughly adjusted for CPI - continues to trend higher...
"August’s retail sales mirror the strong payrolls report, dispelling worries about a slowdown anytime soon. Even if higher prices are making consumers unhappy, they’re not doing much to hurt the economy yet. Higher important and export prices also showed inflationary pressures," says David Russell, head market strategist at TradeStation.
"The data is hawkish and the case for a rate hike keeps growing."
So, the consumer is strong and spending after all... despite near record low sentiment?
Real data versus Democrat-biased sentiment? Is it really worse than the very trough of the COVID pandemic?
