AOC and other Dems enraged that female lawmakers don't want man in their Capitol bathrooms



With the recent election of Delaware Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D) to Congress, female lawmakers now face the prospect of sharing women-specific facilities at the Capitol with a man.

Keen to avoid the fate of school girls and women in blue states around the country, Rep. Nancy Mace (R) introduced a resolution this week to make biological reality — not wishful thinking — the determining factor for which single-sex facilities House members or employees can use.

While there already appears to be some support for the resolution, McBride, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other leftists are crying foul.

Mace, the first woman to graduate from the Citadel's Corps of Cadets, shared her resolution on X Monday evening, noting, "Biological men do not belong in private women's spaces. Period. Full stop. End of story."

The resolution states that "allowing biological males into single-sex facilities, such as restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms designed for women, jeopardizes the safety and dignity of Members, officers, and employees of the House who are female."

To ensure women's safety and protect their dignity in the Capitol, the resolution would prohibit House members, delegates, resident commissioners, officers, and employees from using single-sex facilities that do not correspond to their sex. The House sergeant-at-arms would enforce the ban.

'Women should never be forced to share his delusion.'

Mace told reporters outside the Capitol that McBride "doesn't get a say. This is about real women and women's rights. The far-left, radical left — they want to erase women and women's rights, and I'm not going to let them."

The Republican leadership did not reject the resolution outright.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told Axios, "We're going to talk about that. We're working on the issue."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) signaled support for the resolution, indicating that the same prohibition should apply to all taxpayer-funded federal facilities.

When asked which facilities McBride — a transvestite formerly known as Tim — should use, Greene said, "He is a biological male. He has plenty of places he can go. ... He can go in the men's room, and he has a bathroom in his office just like all of us do."

"I'm sick of this s***," added the Georgia congresswoman. "Mentally ill men pretending to be women need to stay out of our bathrooms and our sports. They don't have rights to our spaces or identity!"

Other feminists and conservatives insisted the rule was a no-brainer.

Filmmaker Robby Starbuck, for instance, noted that "Mr. McBride is a biological male and he's free to live in his fantasy world that he's a woman but women should never be forced to share his delusion. Men don't belong in Women's bathrooms, sports or locker rooms."

Leftists alternatively suggested that female lawmakers should accept men in their private spaces.

New York Rep. Joe Morelle (D) supported his fellow congressman using the women's bathroom, telling Axios, "I think we have a lot of problems in America, I don't think spending time worrying about the restrooms is an order of priority here. I think Nancy Mace should focus on other things."

"She's a woman," continued Morelle. "She should use the ladies room."

Democratic Rep. Sean Casten (D) suggested that if Mace is uncomfortable with men in the bathroom, she should just hide in a stall.

"If Ms Mace finds it difficult to use the toilet without thinking sexual thoughts or inspecting the genitals of the others in the bathroom she would be well advised to shut the stall door and keep her hatred and darkness to herself," tweeted Casten.

Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.), co-chair of the so-called Equality Caucus, said, "The cruelty is the point."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Axios, "This is not just bigotry, this is just plain bullying."

McBride was similarly upset by female lawmakers' desire to keep him out of their private spaces, stating, "This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing."

Despite McBride's characterization of the opposition as extreme, most Americans agree that men should not invade women's spaces.

Both a January YouGov survey and 2023 Public Religion Research Institute survey found that the majority of Americans oppose policies permitting transvestites to use bathrooms designated for the opposite sex.

There is similar opposition to other gender ideology-driven policies.

According to a 2023 Gallup poll, the super-majority of Americans support sex-segregated competitive sports. A 2023 Washington Post-KFF poll revealed that the majority of Americans don't accept LGBT activists' premise that gender and sex can be separated and think it is inappropriate for teachers to teach K-8 students about so-called "trans identity."

Key pickup opportunities for Republicans to secure their House majority



Republicans will likely maintain their slim majority in the House, but several key races have not yet been called.

Republicans are just four seats away from the majority, currently holding 214 seats, while Democrats hold just 203 seats. In order for one party to win the majority, the party must hold at least 218 of the 435 House seats.

Although Democrats are leading 10 of the 18 uncalled races, Republicans are well on their way to maintaining their House majority.

California is the most likely path to victory for the GOP, with Republicans leading in four of the 10 uncalled congressional races. Republican incumbents John Duarte of California's 13th Congressional District, David Valadao of California's 22nd Congressional District, Ken Calvert of California's 41st Congressional District, and Michelle Steel of California's 45th Congressional District are all leading their Democratic challengers.

These four competitive California races would be enough to keep Republicans in the majority.

The GOP has another pickup opportunity in the neighboring state of Arizona. Republican incumbent Juan Ciscomani of Arizona's 6th Congressional District is currently leading Democratic challenger Kirsten Engel. Ciscomani's is the only congressional race that has not yet been called in Arizona.

Up north, Republicans are guaranteed another seat in the race for Washington's 4th Congressional District. Unlike most other states, Washington has a ranked-choice system, which allows voters to rank their candidates in preferential order rather than having a two-party primary like most other races. As a result, constituents are voting between two Republican candidates, incumbent Dan Newhouse and challenger Jerrod Sessler.

Newhouse is currently ahead of Sessler, but no matter which way the race pans out, Republicans will have secured the seat.

Similar to Washington, Alaska also adopted the ranked-choice voting system, though notably, Alaska introduced a ballot measure to end ranked-choice voting, which is currently on track to pass in the state.

Of the three Alaskan candidates, Republican challenger Nick Begich is leading Democratic incumbent Mary Peltola and independent candidate John Wayne Howe in the race for Alaska's sole congressional seat.

While the race has not yet been called, Begich is leading Peltola by four points, making the longtime red state a likely layup for the GOP.

Republicans are leading a much tighter race out east in Iowa's 1st Congressional District. Republican incumbent Mariannette Miller-Meeks is currently ahead of Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan by just 0.2% with 99% of the votes counted. Miller-Meeks holds just a 1,200-vote advantage.

Although Democrats are leading 10 of the 18 uncalled races, Republicans are well on their way to maintaining their House majority.

Control of the House still hanging in the balance



Although Republicans have won the presidency and regained a majority in the Senate, it remains unclear which party will claim control of the House.

As of this writing, Republicans have secured 206 seats, while Democrats have won 192 seats, according to the Associated Press. Either party will need to win at least 218 of the 435 House seats in order to hold the majority. Currently, 37 seats are yet to be called, which could swing the majority in either direction.

Of the 37 seats, Republicans are leading 17 of them, while Democrats are ahead in 20. Although Democrats are leading in more uncalled races, Republicans only need 12 of the 17 seats to maintain their majority.

'As more results come in, it is clear that, as we have predicted all along, Republicans are poised to have unified government in the White House, Senate, and House.'

Republicans are leading Alaska's only House race, as well as Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, Iowa's 1st Congressional District, Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, Pennsylvania's 7th, 8th, and 9th Congressional Districts, Arizona's 1st, 2nd, and 6th Congressional Districts, and California's 13th, 22nd, 27th, 41st, 45th, and 47th Congressional Districts.

Washington's 4th Congressional District is still uncalled but will go to one of the two Republican candidates due to the ranked-choice voting system.

Democrats are ahead in Washington's 3rd and 8th Congressional Districts, Oregon's 5th and 6th Congressional Districts, California's 9th, 12th, 21st, 26th, 39th, and 49th Congressional Districts, Nevada's 1st, 3rd, and 4th Congressional Districts, Arizona's 4th Congressional District, and Colorado's 8th Congressional District.

Farther east, Democrats are leading in Louisiana's 6th Congressional District, Ohio's 9th Congressional District, North Carolina's 1st Congressional District, Maryland's 6th Congressional District, New York's 4th Congressional District, and Maine's 2nd Congressional District.

Speaker Mike Johnson reassured his party, maintaining that he was confident that Republicans would hold their majority.

"This historic election has proven that a majority of Americans are eager for secure borders, lower costs, peace through strength, and a return to common sense," Johnson said in a statement Wednesday. "As more results come in, it is clear that, as we have predicted all along, Republicans are poised to have unified government in the White House, Senate, and House."

"House Republicans have been successful in securing critical flips in swing states including Pennsylvania and Michigan, while our battle-tested incumbents have secured re-election from coast to coast," Johnson continued. "The latest data and trends indicate that when all the votes are tabulated, Republicans will have held our majority, even though we faced a map with 18 Biden-won seats."
