ARepublican challenger to incumbent congresswoman Nancy Mace held a mask-burning bonfire over the weekend, calling the gathering a statement against oppression and tyranny. “This is saying no to tyranny,” said Lynz Piper-Loomis, who kicked off her campaign against Mace last month. “This is a statement to my opponent – who supported the communism, socialism and Marxism.” She and several of her supporters then proceeded to toss their masks into the flames … “We’re not just burning our masks,” Piper-Loomis said, referring to her gathering as part of an ongoing effort by lovers of liberty to rebuke a host of encroachments emanating from the left.
