Summary
During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly shouted an anti-trans slur despite objections from Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly.
She defended her remarks by attacking transgender rights and dismissing criticism.
The outburst drew condemnation from LGBTQ+ advocates and political figures, highlighting her shift from previously supporting LGBTQ+ rights to embracing anti-trans rhetoric.
Mace has used the slur in past statements and introduced legislation restricting transgender rights.
I understand the situation. An arms race is a losing option. You do you - choose violence. Not for me. It’s always an ugly option, and rarely the winningest strategy on this sort of guerrilla level.
If fascists are coming to kill you or take you to a camp wouldn’t you like to take at least one with you? What if they’re coming for someone you love?
