November 09, 2025 "Hard to get anything more than a hearing at this juncture,” Mace after UAP hearing, pre-shutdown
Visit Ask a Pol ~ asking your lawmakers your questions at your US Capitol ~What should we ask Congress next? Let us know!
In our latest episode, Ask a Pol asks Rep. Nancy Mace:
Do you have any takeaway from last week’s UAP hearing?*
*interview conducted week after public UAP hearing conducted September 9, 2025 — and the 119th Congress has basically been frozen in place since then, because the House jammed the Senate with their government funding bill before Speaker Mike Johnson gaveled the chamber into an impromptu extended vacation.
Key Mace:
“Hopefully it’s us, right? But it might not be,” Rep. Nancy Mace exclusively told Ask a Pol. “What do you do? What do you take away from that — from a guy who’s so believable, who’s scared to death testifying for his first time before Congress telling you it’s not us and it’s not a foreign entity, you know? So how do you swallow that pill, right? He was scared. He was nervous.”
