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.
Why isn’t she charged for telling them to watch their backs? With the state this country is in that’s definitely a terrorist threat.
“definitely a terrorist threat”
Fuck 🤣
If it’s enough to arrest a woman in Florida, it should be enough here.
🤣
Because she didn’t tell it to a health care company?
She’s rich and a political figure. She’s in the list of those the law protects but does not bind.
