GOP Rep. Nancy Mace Triggers Top Oversight Dem by Repeating Trans ‘Slur’: ‘I Don’t Really Care’

A House hearing descended into bedlam Wednesday when GOP firebrand Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) referred to “trannies,” a slur for a transgender person — setting off the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.

“Does this advance the interest of American citizens — paying for trannies in Guatemala to the tune of $2 million?” Mace asked a panel during a hearing on “Rightsizing government” Wednesday. . .

After she wrapped up her questioning, Oversight ranking member Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) lodged a parliamentary inquiry over Mace’s use of the term “trannies.”

“Let me please finish without interruption,” he added before Mace interjected. . .

“Tranny, tranny, tranny!” Mace, 47, hit back. “I don’t really care. You want penises in women’s bathrooms and I’m not gonna have it. No, thank you. It’s disgusting.” (Read more from “GOP Rep. Nancy Mace Triggers Top Oversight Dem by Repeating Trans ‘Slur’: ‘I Don’t Really Care’” HERE)
