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.
And most people would just go “hey man, that word is deragatory” and you’d probably go “oh sorry,” and everyone moves on and grows.
But Mace was told directly “hey that’s a derogatory term” and then proceeded to spew it repeatedly, because she’s a cunt.
