MAGA queen Nancy Mace — best known for allegedly faking an injury after a handshake and spewing anti-trans rhetoric — is getting dragged by the internet after looking a fool while clashing with Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett over trans rights.
A heated exchange about transgender rights during Tuesday's Oversight and Accountability Committee took a turn when the Republican congresswoman suggested the two could "take it outside."
This happened after Crockett asked the members of the committee to reinstate the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, which was disbanded almost two years ago after the GOP took control of the House. Of course, Mace — who was the former ranking member on the subcommittee — decided this was a great opportunity to make her gross views on transgender women using women's restroom known yet again.
"You want women to be forced to undress in front of men in the locker room and in dressing rooms, and it's so hypocritical for you to sit here and … be screaming from the rooftops about the right to privacy and civil rights when you don't respect women," Mace said, The Hill reports. Mace then went on to make inflammatory comments about women having the freedom to go into "women's-only space and not see a man in it," claiming that Crockett was somehow trying to "take my rights as a woman, a rape survivor."
Then, Crockett called out her hateful rhetoric. "So, she's gonna keep saying 'trans, trans trans' so that people will feel threatened, and child, listen," Crockett said. Mace took her words literally and yelled that she was "no child" and asked Crockett if she wanted "to take it outside." After seeing this exchange in clips circulating on X (formerly Twitter), people on social media began pointing out that Mace had to wear her arm in a sling after a handshake so she's unlikely to do well in a fight. Fromsomeone joking, "I would like to volunteer to hold Jasmine Crockett's earrings and shoes if she goes outside to meet up with Nancy Mace" to people posting pictures of Mace in full body casts with captions like, "Nancy Mace, after Rep. Jasmine Crockett called out her performative bullshit in Congress today," there was no shortage of funny memes.
