Witnesses, however, told The Imprint that James McIntyre "had done nothing more than shake the congress member's hand at the House reception, and asked her to protect the rights of transgender people."

McIntyre, co-founder of an Illinois chapter of Foster Care Alumni of America, was arrested and taken away by Capitol Police.


Foster youth advocate Elliott Hinkle said there was nothing unusual about McIntyre's handshake as he told Mace that transgender youth "need your support."

"From what I saw, it was a normal handshake and interaction that I would expect any legislator to expect from anyone as a constituent," he remarked.

Hinkle argued that Mace's accusation and the subsequent arrest "sends a chilling effect of, you're not actually safe to go to the Capitol Hill and share an opinion that is true for you, that isn't violent — because right now if you do, a congressperson might say that they were physically assaulted and call the police on you.

6. She needs to be locked up. I really do think she is mentally ill (she's super obsessed with trans people).

This person she is lying about needs to sue her for everything she's got.

the future are you fuckers. The rest of us know how badly you're going to fuck this country over.

And Nancy Mace can take her opportunistic bigotry and fuck herself sideways with it.

10. Another RWer who thinks "someone was mean to me" is the same thing as "assault"?

But the cop is using his words to cover his abuse.
