Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) claims she was assaulted at a foster youth advocacy event, but witnesses describe the interaction as a handshake.
Mace alleges defamation by media outlets disputing her account and warned them to “watch their backs.” She also shared photos of herself in a sling, prompting criticism from a former staffer who called it attention-seeking.
The man involved, James McIntyre, allegedly commented on the needs of trans foster youth during the handshake.
Capitol Police arrested McIntyre, who has pleaded not guilty, while advocates dispute Mace’s characterization.
Sounds like a threat to me. When is she going to be arrested for terrorist threats like that woman the other day for the phone call with United Health Care.
