The Spin

Republican narrative

Mace seeks to protect women's rights and safety in private spaces, preventing biological males from entering areas designated for females. The measure safeguards the dignity of female lawmakers and House staff. This fundamental protection of women's spaces must begin at the Capitol.

Democratic narrative

All Mace is doing is manufacturing a culture war distraction from pressing economic issues facing Americans, including housing, healthcare, and childcare costs. Americans regularly work respectfully alongside people with different life experiences, and Congress should demonstrate similar inclusivity.
