Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina attended a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing this week where one of the witnesses was a trans activist named Alejandra Caraballo.
Once Mace got Caraballo to say that extremist rhetoric on social media is dangerous, Mace dragged out some of Caraballo’s own tweets.
FOX News reported:
Mace then called up a picture of a tweet Caraballo sent over the summer, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.“The 6 justices who overturned Roe should never know peace again,” Caraballo tweeted. “It is our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public. They are pariahs. Since women don’t have their rights, these justices should never have a peaceful moment in public again.”Mace asked Caraballo if she believed her own tweet was a threat to democracy, and when Caraballo said she would like to provide “context” to her tweet, Mace shut her down.“I have a question… yes or no,” Mace said. “Do you believe your rhetoric is a threat to democracy when you’re calling to accost a branch of government, the Supreme Court.”“I don’t believe that’s a correct characterization of my statements,” Caraballo said.
