(DC Pundit) – Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) found herself under attack on Tuesday evening when an alleged LGBTQ activist launched an assault on her within the hallowed halls of the U.S. Capitol.
The incident, which occurred around 6:00 p.m. in the Rayburn House Office Building, sent ripples through the political sphere. According to Fox5DC, law enforcement wasted no time in nabbing the suspect:
“Officers from the House Division and agents with the Threat Assessment Section were able to swiftly locate the suspect, identified as James McIntyre, 33, of Illinois. Following an investigative interview, McIntyre was arrested and charged with assaulting a government official.”
Mace took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her side of the story.
“I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-trns 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,” she declared, urging her supporters to “Hold the Line.”

The South Carolina representative recently introduced legislation that would require members of Congress to use restrooms aligning with their biological sex. This move was widely seen as a not-so-subtle jab at incoming Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), who’s set to make history as the first transgender member of Congress.
Since unveiling her contentious bill, Mace has found herself in the crosshairs of LGBTQ activists, who have been plastering her office with signs and stickers.
