Nancy Mace Assaulted by James McIntyre on Capitol Hill, Police Arrest Suspect
Dec 11, 2024, 05:38 PM
U.S. Representative Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) was allegedly assaulted by James McIntyre, a 33-year-old man from Illinois, on Capitol Hill. The incident occurred around 6 pm on Tuesday in the Rayburn House Office Building. McIntyre, described as an LGBTQ+ activist, allegedly grabbed Mace's hand, tightened his grip, and shook her arm, leading to her wearing a brace. Capitol Police arrested McIntyre on suspicion of assaulting a government official. The assault reportedly stemmed from Mace's opposition to transgender policies, particularly regarding transgender individuals in women's spaces. While Mace described the incident as an assault, some witnesses have suggested the interaction might have been less aggressive than portrayed, with one account claiming it was an amicable greeting. Following the incident, Mace has been seen at the Capitol with her arm in a sling, and she has spoken with former President Donald Trump about the event.
