She said she is wearing a new wrist brace and has iced her arm after the attack.

A statement from the Capitol Police said the incident was reported by Mace’s office just before 6 p.m. Eastern time and took place in the Rayburn House Office Building. Police arrested a 33-year-old from Illinois, Jamie McIntyre, on a charge of assaulting a government official.

“I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man,” Mace said in a post on X. “One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it’ll heal just fine. The Capitol police arrested the guy. Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. FAFO.”

In another post, she added, “All the violence and threats keep proving our point. Women deserve to be safe. Your threats will not stop my fight for women.”

Mace has faced serious backlash for a bill she introduced in November that bans transgender women from using facilities on federal property that don’t correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth.

She said that she’s also received death threats. Opponents of the bill say she’s unfairly targeting Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-DE), who is a transgender woman. “What Nancy Mace and what Speaker Johnson are doing are endangering all women and girls,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said last month.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) previously announced a ban within the House on any person not using the bathroom assigned to their sex at birth.

Mace has vowed not to back down from her bill. “Trying to destroy my career and threatening to kill me because I don’t want to be forced to undress in front of men,” she said before the assault. “Good effing luck! I will not back down nutjobs.”
