Rep. Nancy Mace has been a strong voice for protecting women’s rights, standing tall despite the verbal attacks that have been thrown her way. However, as she shared on X, she was physically assaulted at the Capitol by a pro-trans man on Tuesday evening, noting that she needs a brace for her wrist and ice for her arm due to the injuries sustained.
So the left has gone from verbally attacking her to physically attacking her because she has spoken out against men being in the women’s bathroom. Seriously??
Mace posted to X, “I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns 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 also shared to her public representative page, “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!”

U.S. Capitol Police confirmed the incident, noting they arrested a person accused of assaulting a lawmaker.
The Hill reports police did not specifically name Mace in their statement but said a member of Congress’s office reported an incident just before 6 p.m. inside the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill.
“House Division officers, and agents with the Threat Assessment Section, tracked down the suspect,” police said in a statement.
The suspect was identified as 33-year-old James McIntyre of Illinois. He faces a charge of assaulting a government official.
Police noted the Rayburn building was open to the public at the time of the incident, and McIntyre went through security screening before entering the Congressional building.
If anything, it would appear the man who attacked her just provided women with more evidence to prove that female-only spaces are absolutely needed.
