Representative Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) was allegedly assaulted by James McIntyre, a 33-year-old man from Cook County, Illinois, inside the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill. The incident involved McIntyre, described as a pro-transgender activist, 'physically accosting' Mace, who has been vocal about protecting women's spaces. Mace stated that she was injured in the attack, requiring a wrist brace. The U.S. Capitol Police arrested McIntyre following the alleged assault. Mace's stance on transgender issues, particularly her recent resolution to ban transgender women from female toilets in federal buildings, is believed to have motivated the attack. Former President Donald Trump called Mace to check on her well-being after the incident.
