We support NANCY MACE. No woman who has been victimized should have to be retraumatized by a man in a woman's personal space.

[trith]

Love it!!! Sanity is returning and the world is healing!!!

[argentosebastian]

Thank you, Nancy. This madness needs to stop.

[Meeb]

How about all the schools? Not just Capitol Hill.

[DebraWilliams-th]

Representatives costs taxpayers 77, 430, 000 ÷ 120 = 645, 250 per day. They are only in session 120 days. Shouldn't our leaders be more responsible with our money!!!! Help lower prices, not cost us more money!!!

[LouRyan-fu]

They all have restrooms in their offices. This is a non-issue.

[cp]

That man said those are facts while walking away 😂 love it!!!

[wendybrook]

Thank you Representative Mace. I don't want to be in bathroom with a strange man.

[pascalouellette]

How sick even the Congress has lost all common sense...

[sharont]

My with the men Reps & Dems have never protected women & kids for the last 10 yrs.

[jennifer]

She needs to be supported. Women needs to stand together to protect ourselves and our girls. WOMEN POWER NOW!

[loriesters]

Thank you Rep. Mace. Womens and children's futures depend on this. America voted. We the people stand by you. Thank you

[Grungefan]

A healthy dose of reality and respect for all of the women and girls who are extremely uncomfortable with out of nowhere having to be in vulnerable situations where they are unclothed or a biological man is unclothed. You can not just force this on us. Do they not see how supremely unfair and cruel this whole push of biological men into locker rooms, bathrooms AND womens sports is ? There are permanently injured and paralyzed girls and women because of competing against biological males. Stop saying it isnt happening because it has and it is. THAT was the whole point of title IX. Along with giving girls and women the opportunity for scholarships and other options in the field of all sports.

[hardnoxgrad]

Hey MIKE JOHNSON !!! WHERE WERE YOU ON THIS ISSUE MONTHS AGO WHEN AMERICANS MAJORITY DISAPPROVED OF THIS CRAZY BATHROOM CRAP.

[susancohen]

This is actually Abuse of children, teens, women and needs to be criminal throughout our country. Bathrooms, locker rooms, sports !! Can we get a list of all who oppose and support the ban.

[clayton]

Who gives a crap about capital hill? How about our schools

[johnbrennan]

People keep saying we should have unisex bathrooms, maybe single rest rooms going forward but renovating existing bathrooms into single restrooms is very expensive. Men's rooms for men and ladies rooms for women no mater how you feel.

[kyleschanck]

“Stands in the face of death threats.” Just goes to show that these people are totally mentally capable of even hold public office.

[MichaelWaycaster-nc]

I stand by Nancy Mace!!!! Make bathrooms GREAT again!!!! 🇺🇸

[GPR]

Mental illnesses and drug addiction recovery programs should be at the top of the list in order to get things on the right track again. Right along with implementing the rule of law again.
