Congresswoman Nancy Mace said 'trantifa' wants to kill her as she crusades against trans women using women's facilities including bathrooms and locker rooms.
The South Carolina lawmaker was responding to a report on X on Friday about a transperson in Portland, Oregon threatening to murder her.
'NGL. I had to google “trantifa.” I’ve learned a lot this week,' Mace wrote.
'These people deserve a room in prison and/or a mental ward,' she continued before calling out Oregon leaders.
'Also, wondering out loud what @Portland_State and Oregon Governor @TinaKotek think about an alleged student threatening to kill a Congresswoman?' she went on.
She was responding to a post that identified the person posting a series of threats against Mace and author J.K. Rowling as a 24-year-old transgender student activist based in Portland.
'Trantifa' is a term that refers to a rise in extremism and threats of violence from far-left transgender activists. A United Nations investigator warned about the trend last year.
Mace's use of it comes after she sparked a firestorm this week by introducing a resolution to block trans women from using women's bathrooms at the U.S. Capitol on Monday.
Her push comes as the first transgender member of Congress Sarah McBride is set to arrive in Washington in January.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said in response that facilities for a gender at the U.S. Capitol are reserved for those of that biological sex, blocking McBride from using the women's bathroom.

Mace went a step further on Wednesday. She also introduced a bill to ban transgender women from using women's facilities at all federal properties across the United States.
She argues that she is protecting women but her efforts have sparked fiery responses from people on both sides of the issue.
Critics have asked how her push would be enforced. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed the ban would endanger women with people wanting to check their privates in the name of enforcement.
Mace has taken a combat approach in her fight calling out critics and firing off a series of posts on social media and doing interviews with conservative news outlets.
Mace said she has been receiving threats because of her efforts, but she vowed she would not backdown.
On Thursday, Mace was speaking at an event at Georgetown in Washington when a protester holding up an LGBTQ+ pride flag interrupted the panel from the audience.
'This is ridiculous. It is the day after Trans Day of Visibility. We have had dozens of trans people die this year because of the hate and lies that you are spreading,' Evan Greer, a transgender activist, shouted while being escorted from the auditorium.
'Are we're building an internet with free speech for everyone or just the privileged few? Are you gonna stand up for the lives of trans people? Black and brown people? Are we fighting for justice or are we fighting for big tech?' she said as there was some scattered applause.
Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna was also participating in the event where he clashed with Mace saying the two have a 'profound disagreement' on transgender rights. He thanked Greer for her activism.

Since announcing her resolution, Mace has posted or reposted more than 300 times on X about the issue as of Friday afternoon, DailyMail.com analysis found.
Some of the posts have included accusations like 'The Left wants to NORMALIZE balls in women’s stalls.' She also posted with a selfie video 'No balls in our stalls.'
She has clashed with activists online as well as current and former colleagues in the House.
In one post she wrote in response to former Congressman Adam Kinzinger: 'It’s ok Adam, even though you don’t have balls anymore, you can still use the men’s room.'
'You need help. You’re on the verge of something unhealthy,' Kinzinger fired back online.
