Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) emphasized Thursday that she was “working hard” for her constituents as she fumed over a journalist who pressed her about her anti-trans crusade in Congress.
Scripps News anchor Liz Landers, in a fiery interview with the lawmaker who once claimed that “no one should be discriminated against“, including transgender people, noted that Americans “face many challenges” and listed several issues while noting the impact they have on South Carolina residents.
“Why do you think your constituents want you to focus on this bathroom resolution and not on their duties which were? just potential lost at Boeing?” Landers asked in an interview amid several anti-trans comments from Mace.
“Do you really think women in Congress can’t walk and chew gum at the same time? Like you’re going to insult me and say that…” Mace replied.
“Well, Congressman –” Landers said.
“I can’t do that, I can’t work on multiple issues,” Mace continued.
“I didn’t say that,” Landers shot back.
‘I’m going to let you know. No, no, no, no, no,” Mace added.
“I looked at your social media and I didn’t see anything about Boeing. Have you made a statement about Boeing?’ Landers later pushed for layoffs that will reportedly affecting more than 200 residents in the state of Mace.
Mace is fixated on push a bill that would ban trans women from using the women’s bathroom on Capitol Hill, via social media after several videos And photos And Unpleasant rant about the subject the past few days.
She introduced the legislation after Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) became the first openly transgender person elected to Congress earlier this month.
Mace, after Landers continued to pressure her about the Boeing layoffs, later scoffed in response.
“You are incredulous and so insulting to women,” Mace responded, claiming she needed to “know all the facts” and “understand what is really going on so I don’t prematurely shoot from the hip.”
She later continued, “And nothing a left-wing journalist like you can say will stop me from working hard for the people of South Carolina.”
