Summary

During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly shouted an anti-trans slur despite objections from Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly.

She defended her remarks by attacking transgender rights and dismissing criticism.

The outburst drew condemnation from LGBTQ+ advocates and political figures, highlighting her shift from previously supporting LGBTQ+ rights to embracing anti-trans rhetoric.

Mace has used the slur in past statements and introduced legislation restricting transgender rights.

    Against rando MAGAts, sure, but against the government? It’s going to take more than commercial-grade weaponry to take on the military.

      The US government has lost all wars against gorilla warfare since i have been alive. And that is with an untouchable economy, uninterrupted logistics, and numbers.

      None of that would be a thing in a revolt of the US. US Civilian weaponry is some of the finest in the world. And a 22. Will kill a man just as dead as a .50 BMG
