It seems as though Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has evolved on his position over the past couple of days, during which Rep. Nancy Mace blew up the internet by introducing a House resolution that would ban men from women’s restrooms in Congress.

On Tuesday, a reporter asked Johnson if trans Representative-Elect Sarah McBride was a man or a woman, Johnson took a pass, saying, “Look, I’m not going to get into this.” It didn’t take Johnson long to get his mind right, as he later said, “Let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman.” Cue the lefty meltdowns.

On Wednesday, Johnson issued a new House rule banning men from women’s spaces in the Capitol. “Women deserve women’s only spaces,” he writes:

Johnson also made the point that each member’s office has its own private restroom facilities. Sarah McBride can use his own bathroom.

Excellent decree by @SpeakerJohnson but expect a challenge and adversarial conduct from Tim and his colleagues. The objective is to eliminate women’s safe spaces in Congress.
