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.

    Yes, I was not clear enough… I was referring specifically to the slurs here. They are not planning their every move, they have a goal to mount an autocratic government and that brings nasty people out into the public.

    On that note they do not even need to “test the waters”; the population of the USA already handed them over all the power they could ever need. Short of massive protest and a Nation wide strike, what was left of Democracy in the USA is completely over.
