U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace has intensified her anti-trans rhetoric, notably during a House Oversight Committee hearing where she shouted an anti-trans slur multiple times. Mace specifically targeted transgender-inclusive funding for international programs and misrepresented a USAID grant for trans-led organizations. Her actions were met with condemnation from fellow representatives, but she maintained her stance, insisting her language was justified. The committee chairman, James Comer, expressed unfamiliarity with LGBTQ terminology, further demonstrating the divide in responses to Mace's provocative statements and behavior, which have been labeled as attacks on the transgender community.
"The gentlelady has used a phrase that is considered a slur in the LGBTQ community and the transgender community," Connolly said.
"Tr***y, tr***y, tr***y! I don't really care! You want penises in women's bathrooms, and I'm not going to have it!"
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer stated, "I'm not up to date on my politically correct LGBTQ terminology."
A number of organizations and advocates have called her repeated use of anti-trans rhetoric a calculated attack on the transgender community.
