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.

    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
