Nancy Mace injured by ‘pro-trans’ man who assaulted her at US Capitol

by

Republican Representative Nancy Mace said she was assaulted at the Capitol by a “pro-trans” man who was later arrested.

Capitol police arrested 33-year-old James McIntyre on Tuesday after the alleged assault that occurred shortly before 6 p.m.

“I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man,” Mace, an outspoken critic of biological men in women’s restrooms and spaces, wrote in a post on X.

“One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it’ll heal just fine,” she added. “The Capitol police arrested the guy. Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. FAFO. #HoldTheLine.”

“Tonight, the United States Capitol Police (USCP) arrested a person who is accused of assaulting a U.S. representative,” said a Capitol Police spokesperson in a statement.

“Just before 6:00 p.m., the Member of Congress’ office reported an incident in the Rayburn House Office Building. House Division officers, and agents with the Threat Assessment Section, tracked down the suspect,” the statement continued.

“After an investigative interview, officers arrested the suspect, 33-year-old James McIntyre of Illinois. McIntyre is facing a charge for Assaulting a Government Official,” the spokesperson said.

McIntyre reportedly went through security screening before entering the Rayburn House Office Building which was open to the public at the time, police noted.

“The incident allegedly occurred at an event of the Foster Youth Caucus at which Mace, a co-chair of the group, spoke, according to two sources familiar with the matter,” Axios reported, adding that the suspect was there for the event.

Reactions on social media to Mace’s post expressed shock, anger and caution to increase security.
