A heated exchange erupted during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday, descending into chaos after Republican Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina challenged her Democratic colleague, Jasmine Crockett of Texas, to a physical altercation. The dispute originated when Crockett, during a discussion on civil rights, women's rights, and transgender rights, addressed Mace as 'child' while emphasizing the importance of their cause.
Mace, visibly angered by the remark, retorted, 'I'm no child! Do not call me a child!' and escalated the situation, stating, 'If you wanna take it outside, we can do that.'The heated exchange took place amidst a broader debate on transgender rights, culminating in the House passing a bill that prohibits transgender athletes from competing in women's sports at schools receiving federal funding. Two House Democrats, Henry Cuellar of Texas and Vicente Gonzales of Texas, joined Republicans in voting for the Protection of Women and Girls In Sports Act.Following the incident, both Mace and Crockett took to social media to further express their perspectives. Mace maintained that she intended to engage in a more constructive conversation and not engage in physical violence. She cited a recent assault by a pro-trans individual, explaining that she would not be bullied or intimidated. Crockett, on the other hand, characterized Mace's outburst as a 'performative, ridiculous meltdown' and asserted that it highlighted the urgent need for a subcommittee on civil rights and civil liberties within the House Oversight Committee
