Eyewitnesses say Nancy Mace called for man's arrest after he shook her hand

Summary

Representative Nancy Mace claimed to have been assaulted by James McIntyre, a transgender rights advocate, at a foster youth event.

However, eyewitnesses report that McIntyre merely shook Mace’s hand and discussed transgender youth support, leading to his arrest and charges of assaulting a government official.

This incident raises concerns about the safety of expressing opinions on Capitol Hill and the potential for misrepresentation of interactions.
