Nancy Mace Mocks AOC, Says She's Living 'Rent-Free' in Her Head
Nancy Mace has fired back at Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying she lives "rent-free" in the New York representative's head, after she accused the South Carolina congresswoman of "endangering women" with her transgender bathroom ban measure.A row has erupted on Capitol Hill over a bill proposed by Mace seeking to ban House members and staffers from "using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex."The measure covers bathrooms in the Capitol and House offices, charging the House sergeant-at-arms with enforcing the prohibition.
It comes after the United States elected its first every transgender member of Congress, Sarah McBride, who will represent Delaware's at-large congressional district in the U.S.
House of Representatives from January."Sarah McBride doesn't get a say in this. If you're a biological man, you shouldn't be in women's restrooms," Mace told journalist Pablo Manríquez on Monday.Mace's bill has been supported by several Republicans, including Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and House Speaker Mike Johnson, who said in a statement on Wednesday that "all single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House office buildings—such as restrooms, changing rooms and locker rooms—are reserved for individuals of that biological sex."Following the remarks, Ocasio-Cortez hit out at Mace and Johnson, telling reporters: "What Nancy Mace and Speaker Johnson are doing is endangering all women and girls, because if you ask them: 'What is your plan on how to enforce this?' they won't come up with an answer."And what it inevitably results in are women and girls who are primed for assault because people are going to want to check their private parts, suspecting who is trans and who is cis[gender], and who is doing what, and so the idea that Nancy Mace wants little girls and women to drop trou in front of who, an investigator?
