‘I’m Not Here to Be Your Prop!’ Tim Walz Fires Back After Nancy Mace Asks ‘What Is a Woman?’

Rep. Nancy Mace pressed Gov. Tim Walz to define 'woman' at a hearing on Minnesota's $9 billion welfare fraud scandal, linking term clarity to fraud accountability.

  • On March 4, Rep. Nancy Mace confronted Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz during a House Oversight Committee hearing about alleged welfare fraud.
  • Rep. Nancy Mace linked Walz's inability to define 'what a woman is' to his credibility, asserting he 'certainly can’t define what fraud is' during their clash over alleged government fraud.
  • Reiterating her tactic, Mace demanded, 'Gov. Walz, what is a woman?' 63 seconds into her time, pressing him to define with a quote, 'a woman like me is an adult human female.'
  • The federal probe’s scale and its focus on Minnesota’s Somali community intensified political fallout after federal prosecutors claimed more than $9 billion was stolen and Walz dropped his reelection bid in January.
  • This wasn’t new: Mace asked Walz the same question during a June 2025 hearing and questioned Mayor Muriel Bowser last September, while investigating allegations about more than $9,000 in reimbursements. Mace said Monday she’s not taking the ethics complaint seriously.
