Rep. Nancy Mace (R-NY) picked a fight Monday with a newly elected congresswoman headed to the U.S. Capitol for the 119th United States Congress, but one former Donald Trump aide wasn't having it.
During "Hot Topics" on "The View" Tuesday, former Trump communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin slammed Mace over a planned resolution that would prevent incoming Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), who is a transgender woman, from using a women's bathroom in the Capitol. Mace has said it "jeopardizes the safety and dignity" of female lawmakers to use the bathroom in a stall next to a transgender woman.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has. expressed similar sentiments toward McBride.
Mace claimed that there was an education mandate because there were Republican ads about transgender people in sports.

"That's not what it is," Griffin said of McBride's bathroom privileges.
"The View" welcomed McBride onto their show where she "talked about pocketbook issues and sat at our table, and said, 'I'm not a spokesperson for my community.' I'm running to deliver for Delaware.'"
What Mace has done, Griffin claimed is "goad her into a fight she did not sign up to be part of."
"You have to be this culture warrior to make this your identity because Nancy Mace doesn't like how she chooses to exist," said Griffin. "It's gross and is unserious."
Joy Behar said Mace was "just using it," something Griffin agreed with.
"She wants the clicks," the former Republican staffer said.
Whoopi Goldberg pointed out that transgender Americans are less than 1% of the population and that there are many more important issues that lawmakers aren't dealing with.
"I worry about people going to be able to get medical insurance, are people — all this stuff that we've been talking about. Feeding their kids, you know, taking care of business. I don't understand why this is her welcome to someone who is coming to make a difference in the country," said Goldberg.
