Nancy Mace makes shocking bathroom claim about Fox News host Trey Gowdy
GOP Congresswoman Nancy Mace has apparently questioned whether Fox News host Trey Gowdy is actually transgender.
The South Carolina representative posted the shocking post to X, seemingly in response to Gowdy poking at her political credentials.
In a Fox News segment earlier in the day, he said of the ongoing government shutdown, “Nancy Mace wouldn’t be in the House without Donald Trump, and she can’t vote the way he asked her to. to today?’
Shortly afterwards, Mace went on the attack.
“I have a message for Trey Gowdy: You set Hillary Clinton free for Benghazi. “Sit back down,” she said angrily.
She then followed up with a photo of Gowdy from his time as a congressman, writing, “Which bathroom do we think Trey Gowdy uses?”
The bathroom comment references Mace’s crusade against new transgender Rep. Sarah McBride for not being allowed to use Capitol Hill bathrooms associated with her gender.
It wasn’t the only explosive X-scandal of the day for Mace.

Consultant Wesley Donehue, CEO of a political consulting firm in South Carolina, revealed that he dropped Mace as a client after growing “tired” of her antics.
He said, “You can stop texting me.
“I fired Nancy Mace as a client a few months ago because I am a political consultant and not a babysitter, a sex therapist or a doctor who can prescribe solutions for chemical imbalances.
‘I don’t have time for her constant selfish bulls*** and drama in my life.
“Imagine you want to operate statewide and think this is a good idea.
“The state loves Trey Gowdy.
“This is what happens when someone can’t control their emotions enough to think strategically.”
In another post, he said Mace’s comments were a “childish attack” on Trey and a “step too far.”
Her former communications director Natalie Johnson also shared a clip of Mace and Gowdy together on Fox News.
In it you can hear how she describes herself as a ‘huge fangirl’ of Gowdy. Johnson wrote, “It’s hard to be a sycophant.” Gowdy has not yet responded to Mace’s message.
Mace posted after the House of Representatives failed to pass an eleventh-hour spending deal from the Republican Party, which was backed by Trump, and Elon Musk put Speaker Mike Johnson back in the top spot on Thursday evening.
The Republican bill went down in flames on a 174-235 vote after nearly every Democrat and 38 Republicans in the House of Representatives voted against it.

The pared-down deal was voted on after Trump and Musk called on Johnson to scrap a broader, bipartisan bill negotiated between Republicans and Democrats that would have funded the government until mid-March.
But the new, slimmed-down Republican bill included a provision demanded by Trump to extend the debt ceiling until 2027.
Democrats opposed it because it eliminates one of the few leverage tools they would have under Trump, and some conservative Republicans are dead set against raising the debt limit altogether.
Democrats have blasted Republicans for scrapping the bipartisan deal, which came after weeks of negotiations and every move to include the debt ceiling.
The government is forced into a shutdown when funding runs out, and Congress is unable to pass more funding to keep the lights on.
The government is funded through spending laws that provide annual funding to federal agencies.
When Congress has not passed spending legislation for an entire fiscal year, Congress may authorize temporary spending measures to continue federal government operations at the level of the previous year. These temporary measures are known as continuing resolutions (CRs).
Agreement is reached on this temporary measure, which currently leaves the House at an impasse.
