Rep. Nancy Mace faces criticism over her "victim hotline" for lacking immediate support for abuse victims.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a "victim hotline" after accusing four men of sexual misconduct, but it faces criticism from advocates who say it is not properly staffed to provide immediate support and instead directs callers to a voicemail. Advocates argue it could harm victims by not connecting them with necessary resources. The hotline, initially unclear in its purpose, now specifies it's for underaged girls in Mace's district who may have been abused by the accused men.
