Nancy Mace reports being physically accosted at US Capitol by transgender rights supporter

South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace reported being "physically accosted" at the U.S. Capitol by a man supporting transgender rights. She stated the incident occurred on Tuesday night and that Capitol Police arrested the suspect, James McIntyre, for assaulting a government official. Mace mentioned she sustained minor injuries and received medical attention. The Capitol Police confirmed they responded to the incident in the Rayburn House Office Building, which was open to the public at the time. This incident follows Mace's controversial proposal to restrict transgender women from using women's restrooms in the Capitol. There is no evidence that transgender women pose a safety threat in bathrooms.
