During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace used the term 'tranny,' a recognized slur against the transgender community. This prompted U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly to object, arguing that such language violates committee decorum. Mace defiantly repeated the term, dismissing calls for civility and questioning Connolly's right to counsel her on this issue. The exchange reflects the divisive nature of discussions on gender identity and government policy, raising concerns about respect and sensitivity in political discourse.
To me, a slur is a slur, he said, and here in the committee, a level of decorum requires us to try consciously to avoid slurs.
I'm not being counseled by some guy over this. The chairman will look into the matter.
