Roll Call reports:
More than a dozen people were arrested Thursday for protesting Republicans’ push to ban transgender women from using women’s bathrooms in the House.
The activists gathered outside of Speaker Mike Johnson’s personal office in the Cannon Building around noon, demonstrating both in the corridor and the women’s restroom across the hall. “Speaker Johnson, Nancy Mace, our bodies are no debate,” the group chanted. They held signs that read, “Flush Bathroom Bigotry” and “Congress Stop Pissing on Our Rights!”
South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace made bathroom access an issue in November, after Sarah McBride won election in Delaware. Mace mounted a furious campaign to block her incoming colleague from using women’s bathrooms in the Capitol.
Read the full article. As has been widely reported, Mace was vocally supportive of transgender rights just last year. Watch today’s rant below in which she uses an anti-trans slur. Yesterday Mace attended the Christmas party thrown by the Log Cabin Quislings.
