Summary

Representative Nancy Mace claimed to have been assaulted by James McIntyre, a transgender rights advocate, at a foster youth event.

However, eyewitnesses report that McIntyre merely shook Mace’s hand and discussed transgender youth support, leading to his arrest and charges of assaulting a government official.

This incident raises concerns about the safety of expressing opinions on Capitol Hill and the potential for misrepresentation of interactions.

    So this is what they have in store for anyone who questions their persecution of trans people. Arrested and charged with assault. We need a real mass movement in support of trans rights and healthcare. This cannot be made easy for them.
