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.

    Also, no more interacting with these people without at least 2 angles of video of the encounter, yours and a friend/ally. This is just going to get worse
