Nancy Mace's Bathroom Ban Excluded from House Rules Package

Source: Huff Post

Jan 3, 2025, 07:52 PM EST


The GOP-controlled House approved its rules package on Friday evening, including provisions targeting transgender and immigrant rights, but notably did not include the trans bathroom ban Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) had proposed.

The Republican introduced her controversial ban in November to restrict access to all “single-sex facilit[ies] on Federal property” based on “biological sex.” She admitted to HuffPost the ban specifically targeted incoming Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender woman to be elected to Congress.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who narrowly won reelection to the chamber’s top job earlier on Friday, had reportedly assured Mace that her bathroom ban would be included in the package.

Mace congratulated Johnson on his reelection and did not make any mention of the bathroom ban’s absence from the rules package.

because of the bathroom type mess their own people made all over the capitol building? Perhaps they didn't want to remind people that it was republicans and magas that actually have bad bathroom etiquette.

Nancy Mace’s Bathroom Ban Not Included In House Rules Package
Where’s the poutrage, Nancy?

...............

..............So Mace must be up in arms over the omission that she is sure endangers all women, right? Actually, no.

More from Fiallo:

Mace doesn’t appear to have any bad blood over the omission. She posted Friday morning that Johnson still had her vote to remain House Speaker.

“A vote for @SpeakerJohnson is a vote for President Trump’s America First agenda,” she wrote. “After the last few days of chaos we’ve seen in these tumultuous times, we need steady leadership and continuity. We need to stick together and get to work. We don’t have any time to waste.”


In case you thought Mace had even the tiniest bit of principles.
