I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man. 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. #HoldTheLine
Several posters were quick to wish her a speedy recovery.
Here’s a sampling.
Glad you’re going to be alright Nancy.

Sadly, it’s not surprising this attack happened.
There’s been such a disproportionality large amount of violence from the left.
Trans violence is violence and needs to be fully prosecuted and legally punished.
Stay strong Nancy! 💪🏼🇺🇸
Praying for your continued courage and healing. We need someone that is unwavering to protect young girls and women everywhere. A female is an objective reality that we cannot erase or can we achieve by a man’s decision.

Mace is known for her pro-woman stance. She’s fighting to keep biological men who pretend to be women from invading women’s restrooms and other female-only spaces.
So, the ideology of her alleged attacker is not surprising
Pro-trans? Imagine my shock.

Some are warning that trans-related attacks will only increase as society rejects the toxic ideology.
Up your security. As an ideology begins to die, it resembles a wounded animal. It will carry out desperate act after desperate act until there’s nothing left but defeat. The public now knows this is a toxic ideology and it’s dying. Expect more desperate acts from these lunatics.

Probably important to keep pressure so the ideology doesn’t have time to regroup. I don’t know though. You are the expert here.

Sober and correct analysis. This is good advice as Nancy’s courage is obviously getting attention from radicals.

Recently, transactivists have targeted women’s restrooms near Mace’s office on Capitol Hill. We covered that incident here. Mace spearheaded the effort to keep biological men, no matter how they identify, out of women’s restrooms at the Capitol. Those rules were enacted in November.
