Nancy Mace challenges Dem rep to 'take it outside' after 'listen to the child' comment sparks chaos.

Them's fightin' words.

On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee descended into turmoil when Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., confronted Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, with a challenge to a physical confrontation.

We can take it outside if you want, Mace said.

The disagreement began when Crockett stated "hear me, kid" during a debate over civil rights, women's rights, and transgender rights.

Crockett stated that someone's campaign funds are currently in a difficult position. In order to make people feel threatened and scared, she will continue to say "trans, trans, trans" to gain their attention.

Mace erupted in anger.

""I am not a child! Do not refer to me as such! I am a grown woman, 47 years old, and I have shattered more glass ceilings than you ever have… You will not do that. I am not a child… If you want to take it outside, we can do that," Mace declared, interrupting Crockett."

As James Comer, R-Ky., slammed his gavel, the two talked over each other while he tried to control the chaos on the House Oversight Committee.

Members were shouting 'Order! Order! Order!'

Crockett accused Republicans of targeting "the most vulnerable in our country" later on.

Trans people are not going anywhere, just like how racists tried to ensure that Black people were dismissed in this country, and we are not left either.

Mace later took to X to continue her war of words with Crockett.

"I am not a child, and if I wanted a physical fight, you would know it. This was not about a physical fight; it was about women's rights. I will not be bullied by someone who wants to take away women's rights while lecturing about civil rights. I will not be bullied by someone who thinks being scared of rape is a 'fantasy.' This is not a political issue; it's a personal one."

Mace made a statement to Planet Chronicle Digital to further clarify her comments.

"She stated that there has been a lot of speculation about her intentions during a heated exchange on women's rights earlier today on Oversight. She clarified that she wanted to take the conversation off the floor to have a more constructive conversation, not to fight. She emphasized that at no point was there any intention of causing harm to anyone. She shared that she was assaulted by a pro tr*ns man a few weeks ago and is still in physical therapy for her injuries. She knows firsthand how the Left is capable of doing real physical harm. She will not be bullied into submission, called names by her colleagues, belittled, or invalidated—especially as a rape survivor. She will always stand up for women and push back against left-wing extremism that seeks to silence our voices and dismiss our rights."

Crockett responded to the exchange by introducing an amendment to reinstate the Oversight Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. However, his Republican colleague threatened to physically fight him over it.

Mace was accused by Crockett's office of threatening physical violence against him.

"Rep. Mace's threatening physical violence against Congresswoman Crockett during her performative meltdown highlights the need for the House Oversight Committee to pass Crockett's amendment to reinstate the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Despite being baited by Rep. Mace, Crockett remained focused on her mission to raise awareness about systemic racism and discrimination in America."

On the day the House passed a bill prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in women's sports at federally funded schools, there was a commotion between Mace and Crockett.

Two Texas Democrats, Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzales, were the only Democrats to vote for the Protection of Women and Girls In Sports Act, which passed 218 to 206. Rep. Don Davis, D-N.C., voted "present."
