On December 4, 2024, after transgender activists were arrested during a sit-in at the U.S. Capitol protesting her bathroom-access resolution, Mace posted a video with the caption:

"All right, so some tr***y protesters showed up at the Capitol today to protest my bathroom bill but they got arrested, poor things."
