Wednesday was a rough day for former network evening show hosts. Former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams attributed Donald Trump’s win to “nihilism” and former CBS Evening News host Katie Couric claimed that rape survivor and GOP Rep. Nancy Mace is being “just shitty" to Rep.-elect Sarah McBride because Mace believes women’s restrooms are for actual women, not men who claim they are women.

In a video posted to her TikTok account, Couric lamented:

Hey everyone, I'm just so disappointed that this Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, is being so rude, and I don't know, just bigoted against Sarah McBride, who is a new congressperson from the state of Delaware. I know Sarah. She is the first openly transgender member of Congress, and she's an extraordinary human being, has done a great job representing the people of Delaware and is now going to be doing it in Washington, and it just seems nasty and mean, and cruel because she is the only member who is now forbidden to use the ladies' room and it's just shitty, you know. Anyway, I just wanted to say that.

 

 

McBride is not the only member of Congress “forbidden to use the ladies’ room.” All of the other males are also prohibited from doing so. Still, Couric added that Mace and people who agree with her “are just mean, aren't they? It really makes me mad. That's it.”

Responsible societies do not throw away all of human history and every biology textbook ever written just because Katie Couric is “mad.”
