'Attention seeking loser': Crockett takes aim at Mace after challenge to fight in committee hearing

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) challenged her Democratic colleague, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, (TX) to a fight during a House Oversight Committee organizational meeting on Tuesday.

As the Texas lawmaker referenced Mace's ongoing crusade against transgender people — which officially resulted in Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) being forced to use the men's bathroom in the Capitol building last week — Mace issued a threat to Crockett.

"If you want to take it outside, we can do that," the South Carolina lawmaker said.

Crockett took aim at Mace hours after the incident via social media, writing: "Nancy Mace loves the 'uneducated' as Trump calls them. Please explain to me how the same damn Karen that called Cap Police on a child who shook her hand wanted to act like she wanted to fight me?! ME… the same person who has represented real killers in court."

The Democratic leader continued, "She’s an attention seeking loser who clearly has some fundraising goals to hit… and to be clear that is the only thing that she will hit."

Crockett added, "Republicans incite violence from the highest levels of government & ALSO claim to be the party of law & order. The two cannot be true! Do yourself a favor, decide to require better of your electeds. Last I checked, threatening members in a committee room doesn’t exactly reduce the cost of eggs."
