On Monday a Republican member of Congress introduced a resolution banning transgender women from using female bathrooms at the U.S. Capitol.
I expected this. About five minutes after hearing on Election Night that the state of Delaware had voted to send openly transgender Democrat Sarah McBride to occupy its lone seat in Congress, I knew Republicans would create a hullabaloo over the other kind of seats.
I firmly believed Georgia firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene would be the one to lead a Republican bog blockade, and was I ever surprised to read that South Carolina's Nancy Mace got there first.
I assumed Greene would walk through glass for the chance to grandstand on this matter, but somehow Mace beat her to the potty punch.
It turns out, though, that Greene hasn't completely missed her opportunity. She declared Mace's legislation "doesn't go far enough," and she'd be willing to get into a physical tussle if McBride uses women's restrooms.
That's our Marjorie. Always ready to up the ante in the service of batshit crazy.
