Nancy Mace (RS.C.), whose explanations for mysterious events are getting increasingly bizarre drone sightings along east coastespecially in New Jersey.

The clip begins with Meyers mocking the media frenzy surrounding the drone sightings that sparked everything national security Worry turned to fanciful speculation. He then played a clip from Rep. Mace’s recent appearance on OutKick, in which she offered her thoughts on potential sources of drones.

“Are they looking for radiation? Are they looking for missing nuclear warheads?” she continued.
Meyers was visibly amused by the congresswoman’s suggestion and couldn’t resist the opportunity to get the shot. “Oh my gosh, in one clip she sounds like a load of supermarket tabloids,” Meyers quipped. “Is it aliens? Is it Russia and China? Are Brad and Jen getting back together?
But Meyers wasn’t done with Mays. He took particular aim at her suggestion that Russia or China might have “lost” a nuclear warhead in New Jersey. “You think Russia or China lost a nuclear warhead and it was in New Jersey? Did they lose it in a poker game in Atlantic City?” he said jokingly.

While some critics took these sightings seriously, others, like Mays, seemed obsessed with far-fetched explanations. The ongoing debate has many wondering whether national security concerns are being lost in the cacophony of outlandish theories.
