Rep. Nancy Mace wore a sling on her arm Wednesday at the Capitol after saying she was “accosted” on campus the previous night, though foster youth advocates disputed her account.
“I was physically accosted tonight on Capitol grounds over my fight to protect women. Capitol police have arrested him,” Mace wrote on X Tuesday, suggesting she was targeted because she has crusaded against transgender people.
A spokesperson for Mace said the congresswoman has pain in her back, arm and wrist. But some eyewitnesses have contested her narrative, claiming they saw a “normal handshake,” as first reported by The Imprint, a nonprofit publication that covers child welfare.
