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, 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.

          You disengage as a defense mechanism when others try to force you to self reflect.

          You can be better, but you have to make that choice

            I think you’ve misunderstood where the person you’re talking to is coming from.
