Viciously anti-trans Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) thanked the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) after a judge denied bond to a trans teen who threatened her life.

“I’m grateful for SLED. I’m grateful for the capitol police for following this through because they know about the fear that I live in,” Mace said in a statement to FOX Carolina after the hearing.

Mace went on a tirade against the random voter who accused her of benefiting from DEI practices.

The suspect, 19-year-old Roxie Wolfe, reportedly posted the threat to Mace’s life on X, writing, “I am going to assassinate [Mace] with a gun and I’m being 100% dead**.”

Wolfe admitted to federal agents that she wrote the post and was subsequently charged with threatening the life of a public official.

Mace attended the bond hearing and read an impact statement that both deadnamed and repeatedly misgendered Wolfe, in addition to belittling trans people in general.

“I believe the trans movement is radicalized. It’s a cult,” she said. “Trans people and their supporters fuel violence, particularly toward women who speak the truth and toward elected officials who refuse to be bullied.”

She then said that “men who crossdress as women are mentally ill” and “violent toward women.” In reality, research has shown that trans people are far more likely than cis people to be victims of violent crime, including sexual assault.

Mace told the judge that Wolfe should “face the full weight of statutory penalties” to avoid sending “a message that threats against public officials are just another day without consequence.”

“This isn’t the first time I’ve had to live under the weight of these threats,” Mace said. “I live looking over my shoulder every single day. I’ve received death threats from activists who claim to speak for the so-called ‘trans movement.’”

Mace, however, has also been putting people at risk of violence, not only by stoking anti-trans hate in general but also by posting about specific U.S. citizens on her official accounts.

In March, Mace publicly bullied a trans influencer, mocking her transition on X. In December, she got a foster care advocate arrested after he shook her hand. She also recently posted a video of herself yelling at a gay man in a store because he asked her a question about town halls.

In another statement following the hearing, Mace again claimed “the trans movement is fueling violence” and implied she was a hero for her crusade against trans rights.

“This isn’t just about me,” she said. “It’s an attack on free speech, rule of law, and anyone brave enough to speak the truth about biology. We won’t back down. We won’t stop fighting to protect women and kids.”
