In her first interview after Mace’s weeklong, social media–fueled campaign —which included nearly 300 posts on X —to ban her from the women’s bathroom in the House of Representatives offices, McBride showed how a member of Congress who is actually interested in governing, not grabbing headlines, acts.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has been obsessed with denigrating incoming Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-DE) — the first out transgender member of Congress — this week, getting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to ban all trans women at the Capitol from using the women’s facilities. Mace recently laid out the heart of her problem with McBride.

Mace, a bomb-thrower in the House GOP caucus, is now resorting to nodding along as a Fox News host openly taunted McBride and other transgender officials such as assistant health secretary Rachel Levine, as she contends for the spotlight after GOP victories in congressional and presidential races.
