Rep. Mace’s Anti-Trans Slur Sparks Outrage
During a House hearing, Representative Nancy Mace repeatedly used an anti-transgender slur, sparking condemnation from fellow lawmakers. Ranking Member Gerald Connolly criticized her use of the slur, prompting Mace to defiantly repeat it and express opposition to transgender individuals’ bathroom access. Mace’s outburst drew widespread criticism, including from LGBTQ+ advocates, and highlights a significant shift in her stance on transgender rights from previous expressions of support. This incident follows prior instances of Mace employing similar language and introducing anti-trans legislation.
