Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, got into a heated exchange at a House hearing on Tuesday that culminated in Mace challenging Crockett by asking if she “did it “I want to take it outside with me.”

The war of words came during a discussion about civil rights and transgender rights, when Crockett called for the reinstatement of a civil rights subcommittee and criticized Mace’s rhetoric about transgender people.

“I can see that someone’s campaign coffers are really struggling right now. So (Mace) is going to keep saying ‘Trans, Trans, Trans, Trans’ to make people feel threatened, and kid, listen–” Crockett said.

“I’m not a child, don’t call me a child, I’m not a child,” Mace interjected, prompting committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to unsuccessfully call for order.

“If you want to take it outside, we can do that,” Mace said, turning to Crockett.

Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., tried to defend Crockett, saying Mace incited violence against her.

After some discussion, Comer decided that Mace’s remark was not a call for violence and said she could have asked Crockett to go outside to “have a cup of coffee or maybe a beer.”

Spokespeople for Mace and Crockett did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday evening.

However, the two went to X to defend themselves.

Mace posted about the incident more than a dozen times, admitting she attacked Crockett but saying her call to go outside wasn’t meant to mean she wanted to fight.

“To be clear: I wanted to take the conversation away from the plenary to have a more constructive conversation, not to argue. At no time was there any intent to harm anyone,” she wrote in a post.

Crockett said on X that she had been threatened, and she called Mace “an attention-seeking loser.”

“Last I checked, threatening members in a committee room doesn’t exactly reduce the cost of eggs,” she wrote.

Mace has become known in recent months for her actions against transgender people. Following the election of the first openly transgender member of Congress, Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del. , Mace introduced a measure banning transgender women from women’s restrooms on Capitol Hill. Mace later said the resolution was “absolutely” directed against McBride, and she has since visited her district to speak to the state Republican Party about the measure.

The House Oversight Committee room where Tuesday’s exchange took place was also the site of a meeting last year that descended into chaos due to personal insults. In May, a hearing imploded after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., responded to a question from Crockett by saying, “I think your false eyelashes are confusing what you’re reading.”

When Comer decided that Greene’s words did not violate the committee’s rules, Crockett asked, “I’m just curious, just to better understand your decision.” Then when someone on that committee starts talking about the bleach-blonde, poorly built butch- Talking about someone’s body wouldn’t be an argument about personalities, right?”
