An Illinois man was arrested Tuesday evening for allegedly physically assaulting a South Carolina U.S. representative.
U.S. Capitol Police arrested James McIntyre, 33, around 6 p.m. after an incident was reported in the Rayburn House Office Building, a police spokesperson said. Capitol police didn’t identify the representative, but South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X that she was “physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man.”
McIntyre faces a misdemeanor charge of assaulting a government official. He was in the building at a time when it was open to the public and was screened by security to enter the building.
Last month, Mace garnered controversy by introducing a resolution to bar transgender women from using female restrooms on Capitol Hill. The move came after Sarah McBride of Delaware was elected, making her the first openly transgender woman set to serve in the House. While the resolution did not name the Delaware representative-elect, Mace told The Washington Post that “it’s 100 percent about McBride.”
