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.

    If you wait until you actually need a gun, it’s too late. You can’t just walk into a gun store and leave with a gun that day. Any by the time the shooting starts, it will probably be impossible for left-leaning people to pass a background check anyway.

    But thanks for calling me a hate-filled idiot. If hating fascists makes me an idiot, then I’m happy to be an idiot.
