“Controversial Legislation: Nancy Mace’s Bold Move to Exclude Trans Athletes from Congressional Gymnastics Sparks Fierce Debate”
In a move that has us all scratching our heads and wondering about the state of political priorities, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has just introduced a bill to keep transgender lawmakers off the congressional gymnastics team. Yes, you read that right—gymnastics! Apparently, the fate of our nation hangs on the balance beam and uneven bars, with Mace declaring, “I don’t care how good their bar routine is—no trans lawmaker will ever step on this mat.” Isn’t it fascinating how in a world grappling with serious issues, some lawmakers seem more preoccupied with who flips and tumbles in a leotard? And what’s even more ironic is that incoming Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride, the intended target of this bill, has no interest in the sport whatsoever. It’s like a political episode of The Twilight Zone where the stakes couldn’t be lower, yet the theatrics couldn’t be higher. Curious about the details? <a href="https://theonion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/NancyMaceNIB_G-PH.jpg”>LEARN MORE.
WASHINGTON—With widespread support from her Republican colleagues, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a bill Friday that would ban transgender lawmakers from the congressional gymnastics team. “I don’t care how good their bar routine is—no trans lawmaker will ever step on this mat,” Mace said in support of the two-page resolution aimed at preventing incoming Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride from competing as a member of the elite congressional women’s gymnastics team, known as the House Stars Elite. “We’re going up against the Senate Stripes this year, and we’re going to win, fair and square. If any trans legislator wants to participate in gymnastics, they’ll just have to join the gym across the street.” Reached for comment, a baffled McBride responded by stating that she had never expressed interest in gymnastics.
