It’s a bold strategy — let’s see if it works out for him! Oh, it didn’t? And now he’s publicly embarrassed on the floor of Congress? Oh no.

For some background, Rep. Nancy Mace recently got into an argument with a man named Michael Eric Dyson while on a CNN panel. We don’t really need to get into the argument here, but the long and short of it is that Mace and Dyson had a disagreement and it got fiery.

It’s curious, then, that Dyson decided to follow up the argument by DMing Mace privately, sharing a photo while saying “We look good together” and sending a kissing emoji.

Sorry, buddy, but your DMs are now in the Congressional record!
