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.
damn. i don’t know much about her other than she’s been pretty vocal about UAP transparency. sucks that she’s an asshole too.
I bet she has a nice cock.
The actual stripping of protections, the laws they are or will pass, those are bad enough already, but sometimes it feels like the worst part is just how brave these bigot shitfuckers have become now that their pet nazi is in power. They don’t even have the decency to be afraid to fly their hate flag anymore. They were always shitty people, but at least they used to feel like the country at large would reject them for expressing their true feelings, hence all the pushback against “Cancel Culture.” Now, though, they’re not even afraid of ostriziation, much less anything more substantial.
This seems a bit obsessive and more than a little unhinged. I had the unique experience of being interviewed in a state committee and the experience can be overwhelming. The idea that someone would act up this way feels performative, dramatic, and to repeat the word, obsessed.
Shouldn’t she be hiding in a bathroom somewhere, faking injuries while trying to inspect other people’s genitals?
I hope she chokes on her vomit in her sleep.
While she’s awake would be better.
That’s tough. If she’s awake, chances of survival sky rocket. I don’t like those odds.
Oh, that’s true, you didn’t specify that she died from choking on it.
Realistically, I’d be happy for her to choke on pretty much anyone’s vomit. Extra points for creativity.
I volunteer. I’ll eat some weird shit
A whole bag of Skittles please, so she can taste the rainbow
The dye will all mix so it unfortunately won’t be rainbow colored, just a gross uniform brown
You, I like.
The same could work with the right combinations of chili, OJ, corn, peas, blue cacao (or any blue booze), and purple cabbage.
It’s gonna suck a lot more for the vommiter, but she doesn’t deserve to die with a sweet taste in her mouth.
Bigoted bitch
The MAGA Cult holy grail is when they can keep their careers intact after shouting the N-word in the capitol and say that they don’t care.
They’re almost there. Keep sleeping, murica
We need to speak more regularly about how these people obviously have kompromat on them and are being actively blackmailed - no sympathy as they are garbage humans regardless, but these changes in stance are so swift and violent. These people often have a history of not caring or even supporting these issues, before they become over the top, performative hate mouthpieces - it’s so obvious that they were basically told by Republican operatives at some point, “you’re gonna do what we say or we are going to fucking end your pleasant life”. Again, no sympathy there because the underlying subtext is that these people do shit horrible enough that they can be blackmailed with it. But this is Mace as recently as 2023:
“I’m pro-transgender rights,” she told CBS News’ The Takeout in May 2023. “I’m pro-LGBTQ.” The Republican lawmaker made the comments while saying she opposed gender-affirming care for minors. “Sex change surgery, the hormone blockers that sterilize our children, we shouldn’t be doing that,” Mace said. “Now, if they want to take on a different pronoun or a different gender identity, or grow their hair out, or wear a dress, or wear pants, or do those things as a minor, those are all things that I think most people would support. Be who you want to be, but don’t make those permanent changes when it’s a child,” she added.
Not a perfect position by any means, but centuries away from what she is today.
And here is after she was first elected in '21:
She was one of the only Republicans to sponsor the Serving Our LGBTQ Veterans Act in 2021, which proposed establishing a Center for LGBTQ Veterans within the Department of Veterans Affairs. That same year, she even called for “transgender equality” while asserting herself as a pro-LGBTQ+ rights lawmaker. “I strongly support LGBTQ rights and equality,” Mace told the Washington Examiner. “No one should be discriminated against.” “It isn’t a black-and-white issue,” Mace added. “I do believe that religious liberty, the First Amendment, gay rights, and transgender equality can all coexist. I’m also a constitutionalist, and we have to ensure anti-discrimination laws don’t violate First Amendment rights or religious freedom.”
What’s a woman doing in a position of power in this administration? Oh wait, she is doing her master’s bidding - never mind.
These people are supposed to be representing their constituents; it isn’t supposed to be an episode of Jerry Springer. I’m surprised they aren’t literally throwing chairs.
That’s rich, coming from a sandwich-maker that left the kitchen.
What a vile human.
God this bitch is so desperate to cling to her 15 minutes of fame.
Some future documentarian’s job just got easier.
Documenting facts with an intention to educate? That’s definitely going to be illegal.
It’ll be an important topic for history class in the New California Republic
T**nny today
F**got tomorrow
N****r next week
This is escalation to test the waters

They are not testing the waters, there isn’t a plan. They are just bigots doing hateful things
You are right in that there may be escalation because sooner than later these assholes will realize Trans people are so few as to be invisible to them, they’ll once again see their own lives are pitiful and move onto hate someone else just to feel good about themselves for a hot minute
They are not testing the waters, there isn’t a plan.
This is the plan
Where does it say they’ll strategically start saying certain slurs in public in there?
As these next 4 years go by do yourself a favor.
Write down right now what you expect and hope will happen from the current administration.
Now that you have your expectations and convictions on paper, don’t move the bar when your leaders fail to meet your expectations and convictions. What you wrote down is what you beleive.
Stop moving the bar to always accept them, it isn’t healthy.
Yes, there is a plan. No, her screeching slurs isn’t part of it, although it comes from the same hate and cruelty that the plan does.
It’s also unhealthy for you to just block out ideas that make you uncomfortable, like having principles instead of following a strong man that makes you feel safe and changing your convictions when they no longer align with the strong man you cling to.
Stop moving the bar, you’re lying to yourself.
Just because someone is a bigot doesn’t mean they aren’t following a plan. Testing the waters and normalizing bigoted thinking are things bigots do on purpose.
