The congresswoman appeared to be taken by surprise by the protest and was seen wandering the halls of the Senate, a different building than the protestors, holding a bullhorn.
Thank you for reporting on this. I'm so offended and hurt. I am the mama to a beautiful trans girl and this is OVERWHELMING to go through without a community.
Sending support to you and your daughter. Hopefully you can find some community near you. I know it's different than an in-person community, but there are some communities online that can be helpful too. All the best to you! 🩷🤍💙
This is an ugly chant by an uneducated, hateful, non-Christian woman. Ms. Mace, I would be happy to teach you what you lack in understanding. You might also revisit your bible. Jesus loved everyone and tried helping. He would never support your actions.
Well, uneducated in gender issues. Seems Mace has chosen to dismiss an opportunity to learn. This could be queer-phobia or her social conditioning. But she is obligated to learn because she's a representative. She's probably aware of this, and not happy.
Literally shouting the T-slur from a bullhorn, how on the nose can you get? How could you argue this is not just blatant transphobia and hate at this point
There's no way she expects to be positively referenced in the history books, right? Like, I just can't conceive of acting like the type of people photographed throwing rocks at and protesting Ruby Bridges while she went to school. This seems similar. It's never a good look to scream slurs at a minority group, and I suspect that's even true when people are inclined to agree with you about hating that particular minority group.
Edit: Then again, what do I know? I thought women cared about bodily autonomy and Latino Americans cared about their relatives potentially getting deported by overzealous and racist immigration enforcers, but the election proved otherwise. Maybe this is just good politics on her part and I'm a hysterical lib.
It's the zeitgeist of the MAGA faction, the election win. But I'll be interested to see how long it lasts. The buyer's remorse, the grinding along of governmental processes. T struggled in the first term. Now the Right is maybe tired of MAGA.
I am so grateful to all of the beautiful people who showed up to protest ~ non-violently! I might add. I'm grateful that you risked arrest, were arrested, and then freed because the so called crimes were so bogus!! I wish I could have been there in support ~ I have a wonderful and caring trans daughter who is a mental health professional working with people who are traumatized by the behavior of these ignorant and hateful people. Please know that there many of us who stand on the side of love and acceptance and celebration of our bodily autonomy! Sending love to all!
Whatsamatter, Nancy? Big bad bigot, shouting obscenities through your lil' bigot bullhorn... too chickenshit to actually face the people you're yelling about.
Here is a comment I left in the WPO yesterday that sums up my impression of Congressthing Mace: "I'm sorry, but imagining Nancy Mace parading in front of DC police station with a bullhorn shouting out slurs just makes me giggle. She is a political ambulance chaser and a clown. Being quite familiar with the folks in her South Carolina district I am guessing she isn't going be invited to high tea with the Junior League ladies anymore. I imagine a lot of "that poor dear" "and "bless her heart" going around, which in the common tongue means "the woman has lost her everloving mind". But, she probably got a dozen roses from J.K. Rowling. To sum up: pathetic."
Someday - and it may take years or decades - it will be a deep mark of shame on the GOP that it trafficked so heavily in transphobia for so long. They are clearly on the wrong side of history. This animus is party-wide. It’s not just a few especially vocal or loud people.
Congresswoman McBride is in a difficult situation here and is no doubt under a lot of pressure. Had just a few more seats flipped, there would have been a Democratic-controlled House and she would’ve had a much easier time. She recognizes, correctly, that she was elected to represent the concerns of all her constituents in Delaware, and not just to advocate trans causes.
It sounds like she went to the Senate to avoid actually interacting with protesters so she could stage a “counter protest” for her social media followers. It’s not only gross to see a congresswoman using her official platform to spread hate messages, it’s sad and weird.
It is a disgrace that such dimwits can hold power in today's society and waste tax payers' money for their bullsh*t. It is a regret we pay the bills, food and clothing of these politicians while they should be mopping up somewhere in the workers' latrines.
Am I now allowed to call Mace a c-nt? I mean, if she wants to go down this road. So pathetic. Divide and conquer while oligarchs steal everyone else blind.
Yep to "C*nt". The number of total waste-of-a-vote representatives in Congress now must be alarming to the GOP. Doing the real work of government is going to be hard. FAFO, MAGA.
So performative. Her hate is on full display. It’s not about protecting anybody. She’s a vile, hateful, human being.

Another proud mama of an amazing trans girl here. Solidarity, sister. 💖
Both my adult kids are trans. I stand as a mother and and ally in community with you. {{Hugs}}
Both my kids are trans as well…it’s so discouraging to see the hate and vitriol from people who have no clue about this vulnerable community.

She’s not uneducated, she’s a graduate of The Citadel and Univ. of Georgia…or was it Faber College…
Just because someone attended school does not make them educated…
Degrees of anti-vaxxers and other anti-science nutjobs should really be retracted.
I was speaking to her knowledge of transgender life and issues. She is ignorant about that.
I agree!
Well, uneducated in gender issues. Seems Mace has chosen to dismiss an opportunity to learn. This could be queer-phobia or her social conditioning. But she is obligated to learn because she's a representative. She's probably aware of this, and not happy.
I suspect she knows plenty - she was once supportive of trans people. She is better understood as ambitious and craven.
"craven" ❤️.
Yes, this. She once pretended to be an ally of us but after the results of the 2024 election she went full Nazi.
Agreed…anybody catch the “Faber College” barb?
I had to look it up, but when I did, I sporfled. Nice shot!
Hee, hee. Yes, very well done.
A reference to a movie?
Animal house
"You've got to be carefully taught."
Part of a song in "South Pacific" which is stating that hatred is learned and taught within a society.
It's not an indwelling character trait.
Literally shouting the T-slur from a bullhorn, how on the nose can you get? How could you argue this is not just blatant transphobia and hate at this point
How is that not disorderly conduct...
Agree

I doubt that she will be mentioned in any history books. She is insignificant.
Boosting a slur in Congress wasn't on my bingo card, but I guess it should have been.
I'm not surprised. Nothing at all surprises me anymore from these hateful MAGA cultists.
What peculiar behaviour! And it only took one protest to fry her bigoted brain! Keep it up, and let's see more trans men in the next one!
I am so grateful to all of the beautiful people who showed up to protest ~ non-violently! I might add.

That's exactly what I thought! Didn't even go to the building the protesters were in. Pathetic little bitch.

I wonder what slur Mace would have used for Black people sitting in at lunch counters if she had been born sixty years earlier?

I'm going to go further and call her a "fucking bitch". (I'm a woman so I can say that)
