GOP Rep. Epically Rips Nancy Mace With Brutal Joke Comparing Her To MTG

GOP Rep. Mike Lawler let his feelings be known about his transphobic colleague while speaking at the Washington Press Club Foundation Congressional Dinner on Wednesday.

New York Republican Representative Mike Lawler mocked colleague Nance Mace of South Carolina with a joke comparing her to one of the House's biggest far-right transphobes, Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene.

While introducing fellow Republican Blake Moore of Utah at the Washington Press Club Foundation Congressional Dinner on Wednesday, Lawler jabbed Mace with the following joke:


“Who knows, Blake could be a future speaker of the House. It all depends on how Nancy Mace and the Freedom Caucus are feeling on any given day.”
“Nancy Mace has gone so far off the deep end lately that she makes Marjorie Taylor Greene look like Susan Collins.”

You can hear what he said in the video below.

Whereas Green is perhaps the leading far-right conspiracy theorist in Congress, Collins has earned a reputation for weak, passive stances.

These failures were particularly apparent when she declined to convict President Donald Trump following his first impeachment trial during the previous Trump administration and failed to hold Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh accountable after he was accused of sexual misconduct during his Senate confirmation hearing.

Lawler's joke also illustrates the lengths Mace has gone to throughout her crusade against transgender people.

For instance, this week Mace repeated the anti-trans slur "tr**ny" during a House hearing when reprimanded for using it earlier during the proceedings.

And late last month, she and Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert made headlines for inspecting a Capitol bathroom after Boebert said a person she reportedly thought to be Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride—the first transgender member of Congress—was inside. The sighting was unsubstantiated.

People saw what Lawler was putting down, and criticized Mace further.


Mace has not responded to Lawler's remark but to be fair, she is probably very busy sending out hateful tweets about transgender people—an activity she's engaged in thousands of times in the last three months alone.

Sad.

Lauren Boebert In Hot Water After She's Busted Spending Campaign Funds On Kid Rock Concert Tickets

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is facing criticism after Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showed she spent over $3,300 of her campaign funds on concert tickets and a hotel in Texas on the same weekend her once-rumored boyfriend—MAGA singer Kid Rock—was performing.

Boebert’s campaign reported expenses for a hotel stay in Arlington, Texas, and for event tickets purchased in May. On May 16, Boebert attended the Rock N Rodeo — part of the Professional Bull Riding Championship World Finals at AT&T Stadium — an event hosted by Kid Rock. She even shared a photo of herself with the singer on social media.
