Summary

During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly shouted an anti-trans slur despite objections from Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly.

    Oooh, nicely put.

    Before your comment, I was thinking, “why not show the word? What word could it be? I’m a big boy and it won’t hurt me,” but … after your comment I think I get it.

    I may have to take this away and think on it, and thank you for the catalyst.
