On Tuesday, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) introduced a resolution to condemn the multiple death threats made against Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-1). These threats follow Congresswoman Mace’s resolution that prohibits Members, officers, and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex. Congresswoman Luna’s resolution also condemns all threats of violence in every form.

“The escalating threats of violence and death against Congresswoman Nancy Mace on social media and to her office are awful and completely unacceptable. This has become standard practice among those on the other side towards those they disagree with,” said Congresswoman Luna. “Elected officials must be able to represent the values and policies their constituents sent them here to uphold—free from intimidation or fear for their livelihood. Congress must stand united in unequivocally condemning all threats of violence against our colleagues.”
