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.
It sounds like a typical Republican trying to be a martyr. Hopefully there are enough witnesses to get these charges dropped or for him to be found innocent. On another note have we really reached the point where the word trans can’t be published?
Republicans have mastered cry-bullying
I think that’s her in her own tweet. Republicans are trying to train the masses to see “trans” as a dirty word. It’s part of the fascist program of dehumanizing their chosen victims. We know where they want this to go, and we have to be ready to fight it.
Funny, all it trains me to do is to upvote the memes for Luigi.
I think it’s important that not only 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…)
*Edited a word from autocorrect
Filing a false police report.
Let’s hope the charges are dropped, but at the very minimum, she has caused this individual humiliation, stress, and grief that didn’t need to happen.
