Lavern Spicer, a Black woman and Republican candidate running for Congress in Miami, Florida responded to Mack’s viral clip on her Twitter account, saying:

“@MackDistrict6 just disgraced herself and disgraced every Black woman running for public office.”

Mack responded by writing “right back at ya girl.”

She also took to her TikTok account to respond to reply to numerous comments scrutinizing her twerking.

One user said they “don’t ever wanna hear” Mack complain about how “women aren’t respected in this country.” She replied, saying:

“Honey, baby – this ain’t it. Because I have an Ivy League degree, and I’m sitting state senator. It’s not about what I’m wearing, it’s not about what I’m doing. They won’t respect me regardless.”

She also tweeted out several things she thinks the media could focus on instead.

“Can the media also cover the 10+ bills I sponsored that the @RISenate never scheduled for a hearing?”

“Can the media cover any policy wins had by the youngest Black state senator in Rhode Island?”
