.RepNancyMace defends NDAA vote after saying GOP needs to 'stop being a**holes to women'

CNN's Kaitlan Collins pushed Mace on her vote on the National Defense Authorization Act during Friday's The Source, working in a quote from the representative's own words from a stand-up interview with the network outside the Capitol:"And you said yesterday — and I’m quoting you now — that your party needs to ‘stop being a**holes to women.

Mace has criticized the GOP's messaging and strategy on abortion, claiming it influenced swing voters against Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections. The congresswoman also urged the Food and Drug Administration and President Joe Biden to ignore the court ruling suspending the approval of mifepristone, the drug used to induce an abortion. She is up for reelection in 2024.

"I did not like the idea of this amendment," Mace went on."These are not issues that I believe we should be voting on right now without some consideration of what we can do to protect women and show that we’re pro-women, which has been my frustration for the better part of the last seven months.”The fiscal 2024 NDAA, which sets policy for the Pentagon and authorizes $886 billion in spending, was approved 219-210 on Friday, with four Democrats voting for it.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer claimed that the upper chamber will begin voting on its version of the bill Tuesday.
