"C-SPAN Screenshot A combative Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) sparred with Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) language in the D.C. legal code on Thursday during a House Oversight Committee hearing about crime. The government of the District of Columbia under the leadership sitting in front of us today has become a poster child for DEI and gender madness, Mace began as those watching the proceedings audibly reacted."
"Mr. Chairman, this is not a concert! This audience can just settle down! Mace remarked to Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who admonished the audience to be respectful of the committee. Mace then introduced the No DEI in DC Act to rip the DEI and gender-bender nonsense out of the D.C. government root and branch and restore common sense and equal treatment under the law."
"The D.C. code makes numerous references to quote structural and institutional racism.' Do you believe the D.C. government is structurally or institutionally racist? Yes or no? Mace asked. When Bowser hesitated, Mace continued, All right, you can't answer my question. So, the next question for Mayor Bowser, since you're going to sit there and placate or just be quietyou use the term child welfare involved birthing people.' Can you explain to me what this means? Bowser began to answer, but Mace cut her off again."
Rep. Nancy Mace questioned Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and gender-related language in the D.C. legal code during a House Oversight Committee hearing on crime. Mace accused the D.C. government of embracing 'DEI and gender madness', introduced the No DEI in DC Act to eliminate DEI references, and demanded answers on code phrases such as 'structural and institutional racism' and 'birthing people.' Bowser attempted to answer questions, identifying herself as a woman and offering clarifications, while Mace repeatedly cut her off and reclaimed questioning time amid audible audience reactions and admonitions from the chairman.
