Rep. Nancy Mace trolled for being a 'DEI admission' after bragging about her military academy graduation

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace is being mocked for being a “DEI admission” to a South Carolina military school after she bragged about being the first woman to graduate from the institution while bashing transgender people.

“I didn’t fight like hell to become the first woman to graduate from The Citadel just for some man in a miniskirt to take away that achievement,” Mace wrote on X on Wednesday morning. “Protecting women’s accomplishments isn’t a political talking point for me—it’s personal.”




In November last year, Mace introduced a bill to ban transgender people from using bathrooms in accordance with their gender identity in buildings owned by the federal or the Washington D.C. government. Mace painted the bill as being a safety issue. The effort began after Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride was elected as the first openly trans person in Congress. The bill appears to also affect D.C.’s libraries, recreation centers and possibly its public schools.

But as Mace’s post on X went viral, garnering nearly six million views, she was quickly blasted for being a beneficiary of DEI policies herself.
