Nancy Mace erupts at Dem in committee clash, asks to ‘take it outside’
Rep. Jasmine Crockett called Mace an “attention seeking loser" on social media after the confrontation.
Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) clashed during a House Oversight Committee hearing, with Mace asking if Crockett wanted to “take it outside.”
The dispute began over Crockett’s call to reinstate a civil rights subcommittee, disbanded by Republicans in 2023.
Mace criticized Democrats and referenced anti-trans legislation, prompting Crockett to accuse her of exploiting the issue for campaign fundraising.
The spat escalated to social media, where Crockett labeled Mace an "attention seeking loser."
Mace later clarified she only sought a private discussion, not a physical altercation.
Wow, Americans have turned their government into a circus.
It's sadly been like this for a while now. If you listen to one politician (whose name escapes me but would often do "one-on-one" YouTube videos of what was happening as an elected official) he says that most of these outbursts are performances put on when they are filmed for the public. When the sessions are closed they are much less "animated". I'm going to see if I could find the video.
Edit
I'm sorry. A quick search was unable to yield anything for me. Perhaps someone else had his name.
Jeff Jackson from North Carolina. He has tons of great YouTube (and I think TikTok?) videos.
I think you might be thinking of former Rep. Jeff Jackson, who has done a few explainers on the budgetary charade.

We need to make dueling legal but only for federal elected representatives. There wouldn't be a MAGA politician alive within a month.
I also would like to see some more congressional fisticuffs, they may be nicer to each other after the go for a few rounds and a couple concussions may help their decision making abilities. /s
I'm here for the geriatric battle Royale.
How's she going to fight with an arm in a sling from, what was it? Oh yeah a hand shake.
They're the most tough wieners I've ever had the displeasure of reading about...
Fascists are able to simultaneously see their opponents as powerfully oppressive and unimaginably weak. They live in their own reality.
Yes, because when name-calling escalates you typically want to do it in private at a more convenient time.
Nancy Mace is a putz. Just a numbnuts.
Yapping dog, short leash.
Typical hallmark of a right-wing "badass." Talk tough until the gloves are off, then it's all "i didn't mean that!"
Also, it seems that Crockett hit a real nerve here - Mace popping off because she is being called out for her performative transphobic nonsense and why she is doing it.
The gaslighting from the qons is off the charts.
