South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace admits she has no friends other than her Havanese pooch.

The conservative firebrand’s confession happened Tuesday night after Congress voted to compel the Justice Department to release all available information about alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who had ties to some of the world’s most powerful men. According to Mace, she’s not part of that — or any — social circle.

“I’m not part of the powerful, I’m not part of the elite, I’m an island of one,” she told right-wing media outlet Newsmax.

Mace was elected to the House of Representatives in 2020 and is running for governor of South Carolina in November. According to the 47-year-old Citadel graduate, she won’t be counting on her personal and political ties to advance her political standing.

“I don’t get invited to parties, I don’t have any friends, I have a dog,” she said Tuesday night.

Mace said it wouldn’t surprise her to learn Epstein was being protected by rich and influential people before he died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial.

“The kind of corruption that I see at all levels of government, the federal, state, and local level, nothing would surprise me if that’s what’s going on,” she said.

Mace doubled-down on her claim of friendlessness on social media, where her confession raised some eyebrows.

“At least I’m honest about it,” she replied to a political reporter who posted video of her declaration on X.
