Did AOC Shut Nancy Mace’s Bullying Down?
By Nancy Mace (R-BIGOT) introduced legislation against trans women and tweeted 262 times in one day against newly elected Sarah McBride.
Then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke up.
“What Nancy Mace and what Speaker Johnson are doing are endangering all women and girls,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters late Wednesday. “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 gonna want to check their private parts in suspecting who is trans and who is cis and who’s doing what.”
“The idea that Nancy Mace wants little girls and women to drop trou in front of who — an investigator? Who would that be? — because she wants to suspect and point fingers at who she thinks is trans is disgusting. It is disgusting,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“And frankly, all it does is allow these Republicans to go around and bully any woman who isn’t wearing a skirt because they think she might not look woman enough,” she said. “People have a right to express themselves, to dress how they want and to be who they are. And if a woman doesn’t look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect her genitals to be able to use the bathroom? It’s disgusting. And everybody, no matter how you feel on this issue, should reject it completely.”
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) also spoke out. Video of AOC here.
We’re not hearing anything from Mace today. Coincidence? Or am I missing something?
