Rep. Nancy Mace fired back at a transgender activist who was thrown out of a tech conference for protesting her bathroom bill — later calling the agitator a “raging lunatic, pretending to be female.”
The South Carolina Republican shared footage on Thursday of Evan Greer standing with an LGBTQ flag and interrupting her appearance at Georgetown University’s “Summit on the Future of the Internet” in anger at her bill preventing transgender women from using the female-only facilities on Capitol Hill.
While being led out by security, Greer shouted: “We’ve had dozens of trans people die this year because of the hate and lies you’re spreading.”
“Are you gonna stand up for the lives of trans people? … Are we fighting for justice or are we fighting for big tech?” Greer yelled to a smattering of applause.
Mace — who says she’s had death threats over her bathroom bill — remained calm, before delivering an acerbic putdown of the protester.
“God loves him, I love him — but his penis isn’t gonna be in my bathroom,” Mace said, sharing a similar message in her caption along with the video.
She told those booing her put-down: “If you’re pro men watching me undress in a dressing room, you’re part of the problem.”
Mace continued attacking Greer, a Boston-based musician and writer who is the director of digital rights group Fight for Freedom.
Raging lunatic, pretending to be female, tried to rush the stage at me just a little bit ago,” the representative wrote on X.
“All because I don’t want men watching women undress in the locker room.”
Greer shared Mace’s post, while maintaining she “did not ‘rush the stage’ as everyone can see in the video” the rep posted.
“I stood up and spoke the truth,” Greer said.
“You have done absolutely nothing in your career to address the harm and censorship of Big Tech. You’re too busy obsessing over other people’s genitalia. Get a hobby,” Greer told Mace.
In a separate post, Greer said she would “do it again.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson declared Wednesday that women’s facilities in the Capitol complex are exclusively for the use of biological females.
“All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” Johnson (R-La.) said in a statement.
“It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol,” he added. “Women deserve women’s only spaces.”
