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.
I had heard a bunch of Right Wingers claiming “A trans attacked Nancy Mace! This PROVES that the LGBT are after her! She was right!”
Had no idea what they were talking about. They just kept going on about a circlejerk of “Tolerant Left attacking Biological Women again!”
I did a google search and I heard charges were filed, but no one actually covered the attack… So I just assumed it was fake news or something, only now am I getting more details
It was a fucking handshake? And not even from a transgender person from what I understand?
The Right Wing is pathetic, they claim us as “Professional Victims”, and do shit like this.
