GOP congresswoman Nancy Mace has seemingly questioned whether Fox News host Trey Gowdy is actually transgender.

The South Carolina representative made the shocking post on X, seemingly in response to Gowdy jabbing her political credentials.

In a Fox News segment earlier in the day, he said of the surrounding the ongoing government shutdown: ‘Nancy Mace would not be in the House if it weren’t for Donald Trump, and she can’t vote the way that he asked her to today?’

Shortly after, Mace went on the attack.

‘I have a message for Trey Gowdy: You let Hillary Clinton off the hook for Benghazi. Sit your ass back down,’ she fumed.

She then followed this up with a picture of Gowdy from his days as a congressman, writing: ‘Which bathroom do we think Trey Gowdy uses?’

The bathroom comment refers to Mace’s crusade against incoming transgender representative Sarah McBride from being able to use the bathrooms on Capitol Hill that relate to her gender.

It wasn’t the only explosive X scandal of the day for Mace.

Consultant Wesley Donehue, who is the CEO of a South Carolina political consulting agency, revealed he dropped Mace as a client after becoming ‘fed up’ with her antics.

He said: ‘You can stop texting me.

‘I fired Nancy Mace as client a few months back because I’m a political consultant and not a babysitter, a sex therapist or a doctor who can prescribe fixes for chemical imbalances.

‘I don’t have time for her constant egotistical bulls*** and drama in my life.

‘Imagine wanting to run statewide and thinking this is a good idea.

‘The upstate loves Trey Gowdy.

‘This is what happens when a person cannot control their emotions enough to think strategically.’

In another post he said the comments made by Mace were a ‘childish attack’ on Trey and a ‘step too far’.

Her former communications director Natalie Johnson also shared a clip of Mace and Gowdy on Fox News together.

In it, she can be heard describing herself as a ‘huge fangirl’ of Gowdy. Johnson posted: ‘It’s tough being a sycophant.’ Gowdy has yet to respond to the post made by Mace.

Mace had been posting after The House failed to pass an 11th-hour GOP spending deal which was backed by Trump and Elon Musk put Speaker Mike Johnson back at square one on Thursday night.

The Republican bill went down in flames with a 174 to 235 vote after nearly every Democrat and 38 House Republicans voted against it.

The slimmed down deal was brought for a vote after Trump and Musk called on Johnson to scrap a broader bipartisan bill negotiated between Republicans and Democrats that would have funded the government through mid-March.

But the new slimmed down Republican bill included a provision demanded by Trump to push back the debt ceiling limit until 2027.

Democrats opposed it because it eliminates one of the only leverage tools they would have under Trump and some conservative Republicans are completely against raising the debt limit altogether.

Democrats have blasted Republicans for scrapping the bipartisan deal worked out over weeks of negotiations and any move to include the debt ceiling.

The government is forced into a shutdown when funding runs out, and Congress is unable to pass more funding to keep the lights on.

The government is funded through spending bills that provide federal agencies money annually.

When spending bills have not been passed by Congress for an entire fiscal year, Congress can pass a temporary spending measures to allow federal government operations to continue at the previous year’s levels. These temporary measures are known as continuing resolutions (CRs).

It’s reaching an agreement on this temporary measure that has the House currently deadlocked.
