Why aren't more politicians condemning Nancy Mace's vicious anti-trans stunts?
Representative Nancy Mace is proudly embracing her George Wallace moment. It’s time for dissent.
When Vivian Malone and James Hood enrolled at the University of Alabama in 1963, Governor Wallace traveled to Tuscaloosa to stand defiantly in the doorway of the Foster Auditorium. In tailored suit and tie, the white southern governor, whom Dr Martin Luther King once called “perhaps the most dangerous racist in America today”, prevented the two Black students from attending class.
Wallace’s Stand in the Schoolhouse Door upheld the impassioned promise he made while delivering his inaugural address: “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever”. Mace has clearly studied this history and chosen to side with its least savory character.
When Sarah McBride became the first out transgender woman elected to Congress this past November, Mace swiftly introduced a House resolution to ban McBride from using the bathroom. This legislation, which has far-reaching implications, might as well be known as Mace’s Stand in the Bathroom Door.
When cruel injustice becomes enshrined in law by politicians fueled by hate the only conscionable response is to dissent. Yet, in the face of escalating anti-trans rhetoric and legislation on the Hill, Democrats, so far with the lone exception of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have remained eerily silent.
