Throughout a Wednesday assembly of the Home Oversight Committee on the federal workforce, Rep. Nancy Mace, Republican of South Carolina, continued her transphobic tirade—this time gunning for former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who’s within the working for Democratic Nationwide Committee chair.
“Your liberal record is truly astonishing,” Mace stated earlier than launching into assaults in opposition to O’Malley, transgender communities, and undocumented immigrants. “Mr. O’Malley, my first question this morning: Can you, a candidate to be chair of the Democrat Party, define what a woman is for me today?”
O’Malley, who was ostensibly requested to testify in regards to the want for extra strong staffing in Social Safety providers, wasn’t having it.
“You’re going to ask me to define what a woman is?” O’Malley requested.
“Yes, I am. Right now,” Mace responded.
“Well, I’m talking to a woman right now. Distinguished woman, elected representative,” O’Malley retorted. “I think you’re kind of denigrating the purpose of this hearing.”
Mace, clearly pissed off, then tried to color the Democratic Celebration along with her tradition battle brush—which additionally failed, as O’Malley loudly and clearly put forth the Democratic Celebration platform.
“I perceive what you are making an attempt to put out. However our celebration’s platform is the financial safety and the well-being of each man, girl, and little one in america of America. That is our celebration’s platform,” he stated.
After failing to ask a single query of substance, Mace appealed to Chairman Rep. James Comer for extra time, citing O’Malley’s assertion in regards to the Democratic Celebration platform as a delay. Comer granted her 15 seconds for yet another query.
“Think hard,” O’Malley joked.
As a substitute of asking something, Mace spent her closing 15 seconds personally attacking the previous governor.
“I admire your properly needs,” O’Malley replied.
