Note to self: Never get on the bad side of Nancy Mace.
During a hearing on protecting female sports Wednesday, Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene found herself in shouting matches and smashed her gavel ain’t no tellin’ how many times! It was wild!
A signature moment of the hearing, branded “Unfair Play: Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” were the rants of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-CA). The latter suggested that female sports being protected will get us back to the days of racial segregation. (Go figure)
The centerpiece moment had to be the intense confrontation between Mace and Fatima Goss Graves, the National Women’s Law Center CEO, which ended the hearing in absolute chaos.
Mace knocked Goss Graves with a straight up question, “What is a woman?” (RELATED: Riley Gaines, Charlie Kirk Deal With Hilariously Pathetic Protesters At San Francisco State Event)
This led to nothing but blah, blah, blah material from Goss Graves about how a woman is somebody who identifies as one, which graduated to Mace repeatedly interrupting Goss Graves. Not much longer afterwards, Mace started throwing out insults, with one of them being “you sound like a lunatic.”
That scene was then followed by Mace and Goss Graves talking over each other very loudly for over two consecutive minutes.
“You all are shameful,” Mace said about both Goss Graves and USA Fencing chair Damien Lehfeldt. “You’re groomers.”
