So to each of you this morning does this advance the interests of American citizens?" Mace asked the panel during a hearing onDuring the hearing, Rep. Gerry Connolly made a parliamentary inquiry with Chair James Comer about Mace using the slur. "The gentlelady has used a phrase that is considered a slur in the LGBTQ community and the trans community," Connolly stated."I don’t really care. You want penises in women’s bathrooms, and I’m not gonna have it," she continued. "No, thank you. It’s disgusting."
