WASHINGTON — Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced a resolution Monday that would ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol just weeks before Democratic Rep.-elect Sarah McBride of Delaware is set to become the first out transgender member of Congress.
McBride, who won the race for Delaware’s lone House seat this month, slammed the measure Monday.
Mace said Monday that she plans to reintroduce the measure in the next Congress, when Republicans will retain control of the House.
In the days following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, some Democrats blamed their party’s position on transgender rights as contributing to Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat.
Those Democratic lawmakers said the party went too far and pandered to what they called "the far left" while trying not to offend anyone.
