*A heated exchange occurred during a House hearing Tuesday between Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, over civil rights and transgender issues.
The confrontation escalated when Mace asked Crockett if she wanted to “take it outside” after Crockett criticized Mace’s comments on transgender topics.
“I can see that somebody’s campaign coffers really are struggling right now. So [Mace] is gonna keep saying ‘trans, trans, trans, trans’ so that people will feel threatened, and child, listen —” Crockett said.
“I am no child, do not call me a child, I am no child,” Mace interjected. “If you want to take it outside, we can do that,” she added, (see the clip above).

Jasmine is catching heat on social media for attempting to create a similarity between transgenders and the Black struggle. As X user @TheAfroElite wrote, “The Black struggle is constantly used as a booster for advocating for something non-Black. We need to shut that down anytime we see it.”
One person commented under the post, “Truly is sickening how people hijack the black race and try to do things like this in the name of social justice. They have no interest in blacks. Only their own agenda.”
Another added, “Constantly using Black people’s struggle as a ramp to advocate for other groups. She is NOT a friend of ours nor a spokesperson for Black people!
A third wrote, “There is simply no comparison between the centuries-long struggle of Black Americans, marked by slavery, Jim Crow laws, and systemic racism, and the issues faced by the transgender community. Black America’s fight spans over 400 years of oppression, which is a depth and breadth of struggle that cannot be equated to any other. So please check your black history b4 you compare.”

Meanwhile, the stars of “The View” interpreted Mace’s challenge to Crockett as an invitation to a fight, with panelist Joy Behar remarking that the exchange sounded ‘like The View sometimes.'”
“We have never taken it outside,” cohost Sara Haines added, per Entertainment Weekly.
Whoopi Goldberg criticized Mace for her comments, which she perceived as anti-trans. Mace, a vocal advocate for protecting women and young girls, has faced backlash from some liberal groups, who interpret her stance as being anti-trans.
“I don’t know whether she doesn’t realize that when we’re talking to people, I say, ‘Look, girl, chile,’ whatever. She has a difficult time recognizing [that],” Goldberg said. “But, I don’t understand why she’s so concerned about trans athletes and not concerned about the price of groceries.”

Goldberg pointed out that Crockett’s usage of the word “chile,” is “colloquial,” and that “we all knew what it meant.”
Sunny Hostin described the argument between Mace and Crockett as ‘uncivilized’ and explained that its deeper significance lies in perpetuating the ‘angry Black woman’ trope.
“The trope of the angry Black woman is used so often, and I wonder where the trope of the angry white woman is, because I’d like to see her, for asking a Black woman to, ‘meet me outside’ or ‘catch me outside,’ called an angry white woman,” Hostin said. “Let us be clear, this was never about qualifications, this was never about DEI, we all know what this was about.”
