In a startling mistake that has angered conservative media, New York Magazine falsely accused Republican Representative Nancy Mace of sexual harassment. The article incorrectly connected Mace to sexual harassment claims made by podcaster Alex Cooper in her new Hulu documentary, mistaking the congresswoman for a former college soccer coach.
Liberal Media’s “Dangerous” Error Targets Conservative Congresswoman
Rep. Nancy Mace has demanded an immediate retraction and public apology from New York Magazine after the liberal publication falsely implicated her in sexual harassment allegations. The magazine confused Mace with Boston University’s former women’s soccer coach Nancy Feldman, who was accused by “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper of inappropriate conduct.
The coach’s name was Nancy Feldman, not Mace.
New York Magazine, like most journalists, is SO obsessed with Republicans that they’ve just committed a Freudian slip that may cost them MILLIONS.

The error appeared in both an article and a social media post where New York Magazine stated: “‘Call Her Daddy’ host Alex Cooper says she was sexually harassed by her Boston University soccer coach, Nancy Mace, in her new Hulu documentary, Call Her Alex.” This blatant mistake remained online for nearly an hour before being deleted and corrected.
Congresswoman Threatens Legal Action Against Left-Wing Publication
Mace responded forcefully to the false accusation, using social media to defend her reputation and demand accountability. She said she would not tolerate such damaging misinformation, writing: “We are demanding an immediate retraction and full correction.”

The South Carolina Republican didn’t mince words when addressing the potential damage to her reputation, stating: “You don’t get to smear me with a lazy, dangerous typo. And I have never–ever sexually harassed anyone.” Mace further warned the publication to “Take it down or lawyer up,” showing her determination to protect her name from false allegations.
Pattern of Media Attacks on Conservative Voices
This incident raises serious questions about whether the error was accidental or potentially deliberate due to Mace’s conservative political positions. Many supporters have noted that such “mistakes” seem to disproportionately target Republican figures, while liberal politicians rarely face similar treatment from mainstream media outlets.
“House Rep. Nancy Mace unloaded on New York Magazine Monday for its ‘lazy, dangerous typo’ after the glossy publication erroneously linked her to a college soccer coach accused of sexually harassing podcaster Alex Cooper.”
The allegations involve Nancy Feldman, who coached Boston University’s women’s soccer team for 22 years before retiring in 2022. Cooper claims Feldman made inappropriate comments and initiated unwanted physical contact during her time at the university.
Despite the correction, the damage to Mace’s reputation may already be done, highlighting the immense power media outlets wield when publishing unverified or incorrect information. Conservative commentators have pointed out that even brief exposure to false accusations can tarnish someone’s public image.
Boston University has declined to comment on Cooper’s allegations against Feldman, and New York Magazine has remained silent regarding their mistake. This lack of transparency further underscores the challenge conservative figures face when wrongly targeted by mainstream publications.
