WASHINGTON, D.C. - During the evening on Tuesday, December 10th, Capitol Police arrested a man for allegedly assaulting U.S. Representative Nancy Mace inside the Rayburn House Office Building.
According to FOX 5, the incident happened just before 6:00 p.m. when Rep. Mace's office reported the assault to the Capitol Police. The suspect has since been indentified as 33-year-old James McIntyre, of Illinois. Officers from the House Division and agents with the Threat Assessment Section were able to swiftly locate McIntyre.
Following an investigative interview, McIntyre was arrested and charged with assaulting a government official. After the incident, Mace posted on X, "I was physically accosted tonight on Capitol grounds over my fight to protect women. Capitol police have arrested him. All the violence and threats keep proving our point. Women deserve to be safe. Your threats will not stop my fight for women!"
The New York Post reported that Mace stated she was accosted by a "transgender rights activist," writing on X, "I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man." She added, "One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it'll heal just fine," suggesting that she may have suffered minor injuries from the incident.
As reported by Fox News, Mace, a Republican who represents South Carolina, has been vocal about her opposition to transgender individuals using bathrooms not assigned to their biological gender. She led the charge against allowing Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, a Democrat from Delaware, to use the women's restrooms on Capitol Hill. McBride identifies as a transgender male to female. McBride will become the first openly transgender member of Congress when she is sworn in next month.
In November, after the elections, Mace said that she was receiving death threats, saying that she was being "unfairly targeted." Mace also drafted resolution H.R. 1579, which would prohibit members, officers, and employees of the House from using facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex. According to ABC News, if Mace's measure were to pass, its management would fall under the jurisdiction of the sergeant-at-arms, which is the chief law enforcement officer at the House of Representatives.
After the incident on Capitol Hill, Mace wrote on X, "Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. FAFO." Capitol Police made more than a dozen arrests over the last week after transgender activists, including the notorious military intelligence leaker Chelsea Manning, protested outside a women's restroom inside the Capitol complex. Those individuals were charged with crowding, obstructing, or incommoding.
