My guess is that Rep Nancy Mace thought she was doing something special when she tried to orchestrate a media incident against another House representative, Jasmine Crockett. It's safe to say that perhaps the incident made her look ridiculous.
A little recap - during a House committee meeting on Tuesday, Mace challenged Crockett to "step outside" when Crockett challenged her for high jacking the meeting to rail against trans women. Over the past couple of months, Mace has made it her mission to smear trans women and falsely accuse them of being predators, especially Rep Sarah McBride, the first trans women ever elected to Congress.
Crockett didn't lower herself to take Mace up on the challenge to "step outside," but she did appear on MSNBC's Reidout with Joy Reid, to call out Mace for what she called "clout chasing."
A few things Crockett spilled the tea on:
Mace is of course using her sudden anti-trans advocacy to grab attention and raise money,
Her attack on Crockett could have been an attempt to copy a media firestorm from last year between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Crockett,
The hearing in question had nothing to do with the trans community until Mace brought it up. And then Mace did the same thing with another hearing having nothing to do with the trans community.
Lastly, here is something I picked up on. Starting at 3:51 of the above video, Reid played a video from a pinned tweet of Mace going on some ridiculous and very obscene tangent about trans women and restrooms.
Mace's "performance" is incredibly orchestrated even down to the gigantic cross earrings she's wearing. Note how her hair on that side is pulled back while her head is cocked, no doubt making sure that the cross earring is prominently displayed on camera. I guess the objective is to position Mace's obsession with attacking trans women as sort of a Christian defense of womanhood.
Mace clearly fails in this attempt. Instead, she comes across as desperately obvious to the point of being downright tacky.
