From NBC News: U.S. Capitol Police said Tuesday that they arrested a person accused of assaulting Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.
The suspect, identified as James McIntyre, 33, of Illinois, faces a charge of assaulting a government official.
Mace said Tuesday night on X that she was “physically accosted at the Capitol tonight” by someone who she said was a defender of transgender rights.
Police said the Rayburn building was open to the public at the time of the shocking incident, and McIntyre had gone through security screening before entering the building.
Mace announced in a social media post Tuesday night, “I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man. One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it’ll heal just fine.
“The Capitol police arrested the guy. Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. FAFO. #HoldTheLine.”
