Deputy Nancy Mace, RS.C. drew attention on Tuesday for condemning violent rhetoric after a transgender rights witness called for violence against Supreme Court justices on Twitter.
Mace, one of the few Republicans at the House Oversight and Reforms Committee hearing, spoke with Alejandra Caraballo of Harvard Law School’s Cyber Law Clinic about the threat posed by anti-democratic extremist groups and their damage to American democracy.
He asked all witnesses if they considered violent rhetoric against government officials on social media to be a “threat to democracy.”
When Caraballo, a trans woman known as @Esqueer_ on Twitter, responded positively, Mace highlighted Caraballo’s violent rhetoric against Supreme Court justices following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Mace pointed to Caraballo’s June 25 tweet, which read, “The 6 justices who overthrew Rowe should never know peace again. It is our civic duty to recognize them every time they are in public. They are pariahs. Because women.” Without their rights, these courts should never have a moment of peace in public.”
