Target of Nancy Mace's 'scorched earth' attack angrily denies 'predator' allegations

A man who was targeted with salacious allegations on the U.S. House floor by Rep. Nancy Mace angrily denied the lawmaker's claims. Brian Musgrave told CNN he was out buying bird seed when he received a text from an unknown number alerting him that Mace was going to mention his name in a House speech, in which she announced she was "going scorched earth," and he said the lawmaker's accusations have turned his life upside-down. It just didn’t make any sense,” Musgrave told CNN, “I couldn’t think of a context where I would be named in a floor speech by Nancy Mace at all.” The South Carolina congresswoman accused her former fiancé Patrick Bryant of rape and claimed that he and three other men, including Musgrave, recorded sex acts without her consent, and she displayed their names, hometowns and photos on a placard emblazoned with the words "PREDATORS" and "STAY AWAY FROM" in block letters, along with the seal of the U.S. House of Representatives. "Mace said she found more than 10,000 hidden camera videos and photos after Bryant gave her access to his phone when they were still a couple but didn’t provide any evidence," CNN reported. Musgrave's lawyers say they've seen “zero evidence” their client has done anything wrong, and they have sent Mace a letter asking her to provide evidence to support her allegations or retract them and issue an apology, saying that her claims shouldn't be shielded by the Speech or Debate clause in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
