Testimony from victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was too much for one lawmaker to bear.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-South Carolina, left the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee closed door meeting with Epstein victims early Sept. 2 after having "a very difficult time listening to their stories."
"Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe," Mace wrote on social media in describing her reaction to the testimony. Mace was in tears as she left.

Mace in a February speech on the House floor accused her former fiancé and three other men of drugging and raping her and other women. Mace's former fiancé denied the accusations.
