South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican, complained on Friday in regards to the purported use of dehumanizing language from Democrats who’ve criticized her—however simply hours earlier than Mace repeatedly used a bigoted, anti-trans slur.
Mace appeared on CNN to debate the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who spent a lot of his profession selling hatred of transgender folks. Mace not too long ago launched a decision to permit Kirk to lie in state within the Capitol Rotunda.
“I have never called one of my colleagues the kind of names that we’ve been called,” Mace mentioned. “I’ve never dehumanized my colleagues.”
However on Thursday, whereas chatting with reporters in regards to the capturing, Mace mentioned, “It sounds like the shooter was a tranny, or pro-tranny,” utilizing a derogatory slur for a transgender individual.
GLAAD notes, “When used in a derogatory way, ‘tr*nny’ is recognized as one of the most extreme slurs for a trans person, similar to other extreme slurs for other historically marginalized groups.”
Final November, after Sarah McBride gained her Delaware election and was set to turn out to be the primary brazenly transgender member of the Home, Mace launched laws meant to segregate bogs within the Capitol. Her invoice would require the Home sergeant-at-arms to police bogs to stop transgender members from utilizing bogs for the gender they establish with.
Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware arrives within the Home Chamber earlier than President Donald Trump arrives to handle a joint session of Congress on the Capitol on March 4.
Home Speaker Mike Johnson later gave in and mandated segregation of Capitol rest room amenities.
Mace has continued to model herself as a crusader towards transgender rights. She has offered bathroom-themed merchandise as marketing campaign supplies and promoted it, writing, “The Left wants to NORMALIZE balls in women’s stalls.”
Throughout a Home Oversight Committee listening to in January, Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas criticized Mace for repeatedly “saying ‘trans, trans, trans’ so that people will feel threatened.” In response, Mace threatened, “If you want to take it outside, we can do that.”
Opposite to Mace’s characterization of herself and Democrats throughout her CNN look, she has been a key actor in selling dehumanization and pushing for violence. Mace was doing exactly what Kirk spent his life within the public eye pushing conservative Republicans to do: Be hateful.
