Rep. Nancy Mace, a fire-breathing MAGA Republican from S. Carolina, smugly deploys coded fascist Christian Nationalist propaganda when she asks Walz, "What is a woman?" Then she lobs nasty insults at him, callling him "a bigot, a mysognist, a sexist" without giving time for him to respond.

The U.S. Supreme Court is nothing more than a partisan, "conservative" wasteland, with three Trump justices and the "DEI Justice" Clarence Thomas, joined by the addle-brained culture warrior Justice Samuel Alito. The United States is no longer a safe refuge for freedom and democracy.
