Boebert and Mace’s Transphobic Bathroom Confrontation Backfires
Following House Speaker Mike Johnson’s discriminatory bathroom policy, Representatives Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace mistakenly confronted a cisgender woman, believing her to be Representative Sarah McBride. Boebert later admitted to the error and apologized. The incident, which was witnessed and documented by a Bloomberg reporter, underscores the policy’s potential for harassment and highlights the concerns raised by critics, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. McBride’s office described the event as predictable and called for a return to work rather than enforcement of the controversial bathroom rules.
