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.
I think it’s important that not picky are charges dropped, but she should get some push back or fine for wrongfully charges ( I’m assuming it is illegal to claim someone assaulted you when it’s obvious they did not - and I’m not a lawyer or American, so I’m sure there’s a better name for it…)
