Illinois man pleads not guilty to allegedly assaulting Rep. Nancy Mace on Capitol grounds
CBSN
Washington — An Illinois man who was charged with misdemeanor assault after allegedly shaking Rep. Nancy Mace's hand in an "exaggerated, aggressive" manner has entered a not guilty plea.
James McIntyre, 33, of Chicago, was charged following an encounter at Rayburn House Office Building on Tuesday evening. Mace, a South Carolina Republican, said in a social media post earlier this week that the encounter left her needing a brace for her wrist, and icing her arm.
Mace told police that McIntyre said, "Trans youth serve advocacy," while shaking her hand. The Rayburn building was open at the time of the incident and Capitol police reported that McIntyre had been through a security screening.
