A man from the state of Illinois allegedly went into a rage and physically assaulted South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday due to her views on the issue of transgender identifying males in women’s spaces, according to the congresswoman. Funny how the radical left goes radio silence when one of their own goes nutty and hurts someone. If a conservative did this to a Democrat, we would be calling the person out and demanding justice be served. That’s the difference between the two sides of the political spectrum.
“I was physically accosted tonight on Capitol grounds over my fight to protect women,” she went on to say 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!”

According to The Daily Wire:
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 said in a statement given to 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.”
This is obviously unacceptable behavior. I don’t care what anyone else has to say. Science has resolved this whole transgender mess. Those who refuse to accept the scientific facts and conclusions reached on the topic of gender are science deniers and should be labeled as such. Men cannot become women. Our DNA at birth is forever. Period. If you feel you are someone who is in the wrong body, that is false. You are not, in fact, in the wrong body.
What’s wrong is your mind. You have a mental illness. You need help to accept who you really are. It’s time to literally stop the madness. A person’s mental illness should not be indulged in by society at large.
