Nancy Mace fires back at AOC, critics of trans bathroom ban: 'Height of hypocrisy'

AOC claimed the resolution is 'endangering' women after the SC lawmaker introduced the proposed ban last week.

South Carolina lawmaker Nancy Mace sparked a wildfire from critics like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., when she proposed a resolution to ban transgender women from using women’s restrooms at the U.S. Capitol.

After the progressive Democrat claimed Mace and supporters of the bill were "endangering women and girls," Mace fired back.

"It's really the height of hypocrisy," Mace said on "Fox & Friends Weekend," Sunday. "It just goes to show [Democrats'] lie. They don't want to protect women. They never have wanted to protect women, and their policies will only endanger more women and girls."

Mace, who has vocalized being a survivor of rape and sexual abuse, introduced the resolution last week. She told Fox News Digital, "the sanctity of protecting women and standing up against the Left’s systematic erasure of biological women starts here in the nation’s Capitol."

The measure will prohibit "members, officers, and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex, and for other purposes," according to text previewed by Fox News Digital.
