South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace used a slur referring to transgender people during a House hearing, sparking controversy and a parliamentary inquiry from Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly. Mace's comments were part of her ongoing opposition to transgender rights, which she has made central to her political agenda as she considers a run for governor in 2026. Despite backlash, Mace continued to use the slur in subsequent interviews and social media posts, aligning herself with right-wing voters and the Trump administration's anti-trans policies.
