Today’s episode of “Congressional Catfight” is brought to you by gender ideology.
“I think it’s very interesting that my colleague from South Carolina is so obsessed with the issue of trans people,” Democratic California Rep. Sara Jacobs said Wednesday, referring to Republican Rep. Nancy Mace. (RELATED: NANCY MACE: America Has A 1% Problem But It’s Not What The Left Thinks)
Jacobs accused Mace of “using horrible slurs to talk about [transgender-identified people], when many people in this body have received gender affirming care.”

The House is set to vote on a slew of Mace-introduced amendments, including an amendment to prohibit the Department of War “from allocating taxpayer resources toward gender-transition procedures or treatments through TRICARE,” a military healthcare program. Another of Mace’s amendment’s prohibits “biological males [from] competing against our daughters in uniform.”
“Filler is gender affirming care,” Jacobs claimed. “Boob jobs is gender affirming care. Botox is gender affirming care.”
And the ‘False Equivalence of the Year’ goes to …
Any smart or normal person should be able to recognize the difference between a teenage girl putting on some lipstick, or even getting lip fillers, and that same teenage girl cutting off her healthy breasts.

“Lots of my colleagues have received gender affirming care,” Jacobs maintained, no doubt pleased with her passive aggressive line of attack.
✅NDAA Amendment #25 for debate on the House Floor:
Protects women’s sports at our U.S. Service Academies.
No biological males competing against our daughters in uniform.

“And let me be clear, I think everyone should have access to the gender affirming care that they need. And I think we should respect everybody in this country. With that, I yield back.”
The house exploded in shouts and chaos, with Mace appearing to yell, “You are absolutely ridiculous.”
Indeed. Republicans hardly have to run attack ads when their opponents do stuff like this.
