That attacker was arrested.
The Capitol Police put out a general statement referencing the attack on Mace.
“Tonight, the United States Capitol Police (USCP) arrested a person who is accused of assaulting a U.S. Representative,” the statement reads.
This guy was easily 3x my size by weight. And he’s a grown man. Stop making excuses for assaults on women.#HoldTheLine

The Activists Has Activist Witnesses
The individual, who went through a security screening to enter the congressional building, was identified as James McIntyre, 33, of Illinois, and will face one charge of assaulting a government official, the Capitol Police said.
The incident occurred during an event hosted by the Foster Youth Caucus, which Mace co-chairs, Axios reported, citing two sources.
Others described a different version of events involving McIntyre, an activist in foster care policy issues.
“I want to express deep disappointment in the fact that Congresswoman Nancy Mace came to a national foster youth event, told participating youth that it was a safe space – and literally had one of them arrested by Capital police for simply shaking her hand and asking about trans rights,” Lisa Dickson, an advocate for foster youth from Ohio, said in a Facebook post.
Last month, Mace introduced a resolution to ban transgender women, who are actually men, from using the women’s bathrooms at the Capitol. A man who is now Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) is now in Congress, which brought the issue to the fore. It has made Rep. Mace a target.
It sounds like a typical con from the violent Left.
