Representatives Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) got into an incredibly heated exchange during a House Oversight Committee meeting on Tuesday.
The battle of words began during a discussion about civil rights and so-called transgender rights. It ended with an actual proposal to take the matter outside and settle it like women. (Which would be hard, considering anyone with the letter “D” next to their name is 1- Not a biologist, and 2- Therefore unable to define what an actual woman is).
Anyway, Crockett got the fireworks going when she mocked Mace’s quest to remove biological men from women’s bathrooms and/or sports.
“I can see that somebody’s (Mace’s) campaign coffers really are struggling right now,” Crockett chided. “So she’s gonna keep saying trans, trans, trans, so that people will feel threatened.”
With a flip of the hair, the Texas Democrat patronized her colleague, saying, “And child, listen.”
That prompted Mace to summarily blow a gasket.

“I am no child! Do not call me a child!” a peeved Mace shouted. “I am no child. Don’t even start. I am a grown woman. I am 47 years old.”
Crockett attempted to talk over Mace to no avail.
“You will not do that. I am not a child,” the GOP congresswoman replied. “If you want to take it outside, we can do that.”
Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL) tried to have Mace’s comments stricken from the record, but House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) claimed it was merely an offer to settle the discussion over a “cup of coffee, or maybe a beer” outside the halls of Congress.

Mace and Crockett kept up the war of words on X following the viral exchange, and neither seemed interested in hashing things out over a beer.
Crockett alleged that her Republican colleague had “threatened to physically fight me,” while Mace countered, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”
Also adding fuel to the fire was a statement by Crockett at the hearing in which she claimed fears of biological men in women’s locker rooms were a “fantasy” and an instance of someone wanting to “be dramatic.”
Mace, who was a victim of sexual assault as a teenager, took exception to the remarks.
.@RepJasmine says fear of rape is “fantasy” and “dramatic.”
I can’t even begin to explain how offensive it is to be told, as a rape survivor, my fear of being raped is draped in “fantasy.”

This isn’t the first time things have grown somewhat contentious between Mace and an activist in over their heads intellectually. Just last month, Capitol police arrested a pro-transgender advocate after he physically assaulted her.
Mace sustained minor injuries, requiring a brace for her wrist and ice for her arm, but was quick to assert her resilience, stating, “Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. FAFO.”
33-year-old James McIntyre of Illinois was charged with assaulting a government official.

Meanwhile, Crockett has been making a spectacle of herself in Congress, frequently and embarrassingly making radical statements that would make Joy Reid blush.
Just recently, she tried to demean Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, suggesting he has no idea what he’s doing when it comes to fixing the border crisis.
That prompted Homan to steamroll her back to reality: “I don’t know who this lady is. Apparently, she’s not real smart.”
Is it that obvious?
Rep. Jasmine Crockett tried to pick a fight with Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, saying he “does not know what he’s doing.”
Homan fires back that he’s “forgot more about this issue than she’ll ever know.”

Earlier this month, at a House Oversight Committee hearing regarding problems in the U.S. Census, Crockett launched into a vile tirade about minorities being used to create seats for white Republicans.
Prior to that, Crockett went viral with this racist screed about the “white man.”
At this point, it’s obvious Crockett is just going to do precisely what you’d expect from a “Squad” wannabe — run her mouth without anything vaguely intelligent to back up her words.
Don’t take the bait, Nancy. It’s not worth it.
