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.
This is a government of the absolute worst people.
We’re not going to take this lying down
The votes were not rigged, more reason for us to be ready.
Gross. You are become them. Classic American - apply a bit of stress and you cry Guns!
There’s actually a word for it:
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
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.
Where does it say they’ll strategically start saying certain slurs in public in there?
Bigoted bitch
I hope she chokes on her vomit in her sleep.
Realistically, I’d be happy for her to choke on pretty much anyone’s vomit. Extra points for creativity.
That’s tough. If she’s awake, chances of survival sky rocket. I don’t like those odds.
Methinks this Caitlyn Jenner doppelgänger doth protest too much.
