Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) took a personal shot at Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-CA) after she pushed back against anti-transgender legislation by noting that Botox and breast implants were gender-affirming care.
Jacobs made the remarks during a House floor debate on Wednesday.
"I would just like to point out that I think it's very interesting that my colleague from South Carolina is so obsessed with the issue of trans people, using horrible slurs to talk about them, when many people in this body have received gender affirming care," the Democratic lawmaker noted. "Filler is gender-affirming care. Boob jobs is gender-affirming care. Botox is gender-affirming care."
Mace reacted by screaming until her microphone was cut off. She later lashed out with a post on X.
"To @RepSaraJacobs, I talk about women's safety and your response is commentary about my body on the House floor," Mace complained. "If you knew anything about survivors you would know some women change their bodies because of the trauma of sexual violence. They live with the consequences for a lifetime."
"PS - I have a good surgeon if you ever want to get your nose done," she added.
