An Illinois man allegedly attacked South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace on the United States Capitol grounds Tuesday over her views on trans-identifying men in women’s spaces, Mace said.
“I was physically accosted tonight on Capitol grounds over my fight to protect women,” she said in a post on X. “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!”

Mace was referring to her efforts to keep trans-identifying men out of women’s restrooms, specifically in the United States Capitol and all federal property.
“There’s no amount of bullying and threats on my life that they’ve made this week that’s going to stop me from this,” she said in late November, promising to “fight like hell” for the protection of women and girls.

The Capitol Police told The Daily Wire that they arrested a person accused of assaulting a United States representative Tuesday evening. That person was 33-year-old James McIntyre of Illinois, the Capitol Police said. McIntyre is facing a charge of assaulting a government official.
“Just before 6:00 p.m., the Member of Congress’ office reported an incident in the Rayburn House Office Building,” the Capitol Police told The Daily Wire. “House Division officers, and agents with the Threat Assessment Section, tracked down the suspect.”
McIntyre reportedly went through security screening before entering the congressional buildings, where the incident apparently occurred. The Capitol Police specifically said that “the Rayburn House Office Building was open to the public at the time of the incident.”
