'It's Gross': Ocasio-Cortez Goes After Nancy Mace's Trans Bathroom Crusade
HuffPost
“They’re not doing it to protect people,” the Democrat said Wednesday. “They’re endangering women, they’re endangering girls of all kinds."
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) went after her colleague, Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.), on Wednesday, accusing the Republican lawmaker of bullying the chamber’s first openly trans lawmaker to “make a buck … and fundraise off an email.”
Mace introduced a measure to ban transgender women from using the women’s bathrooms at the Capitol earlier this week, using demeaning language about her new colleague, Delaware Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D). McBride made history earlier when she won the state’s lone seat in the House, becoming the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) confirmed Wednesday that he would follow through with the plans and ban transgender lawmakers and staff from using bathrooms that don’t correspond to their “biological sex.”
“Women deserve women’s only spaces,” Johnson said.
Ocasio-Cortez lambasted the effort in brief remarks to reporters, saying the move would only endanger girls and women around the country.
