Capitol Police arrested a man on Tuesday who allegedly assaulted Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., on Capitol grounds over her fight to protect women's spaces.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said she was physically accosted on Capitol grounds in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night, and the suspect has since been arrested. The U.S. Capitol Police said that just before 6 p.m., the office of a member of Congress, later identified as Mace, reported an incident in the Rayburn House Office Building.
Police interviewed McIntyre, and ultimately placed him under arrest for assaulting a government official. 'I was physically accosted tonight on Capitol grounds over my fight to protect women. Capitol police have arrested him,' Mace said in a post on X. 'All the violence and threats keep proving our point. Women deserve to be safe.
She led the charge against allowing Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, a Democrat from Delaware, to use the women’s restrooms on Capitol Hill. McBride is a biological man who identifies and presents as a woman. Mace said last month she was receiving death threats, adding that she was being 'unfairly targeted.' Mace also drafted resolution H.R. 1579, which would prohibit members, officers and employees of the House from using facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.
Mace’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Fox News Digital’s Charles Creitz contributed to this report.
