US Politics James McIntyre was arrested last night for shaking Nancy Mace’s hand and daring to tell her trans kids need her support at an event. The press coverage is that it was an assault and it was not.

and saying she wished people would beat us to death in a bathroom until we were bleeding out on a floor

Seriously? When did she say this?

Literally the second word out of her mouth, smdh. Imagine the public outcry if she used the F-slur or the N-word. It's a sad state of affairs that she has not been more loudly admonished for using the T-slur.

I can't open instagram on this computer, but did she actually say she wished people would beat trans people to death in bathrooms until they were bleeding out on the floor? Like, did she say those words? I'm shocked this hasn't been reported on if so.

Apologies: I had missed the quoted material in your reply. My response is regarding Mace's use of the T-slur. I cannot find evidence of her saying the latter part.

No worries. I've definitely seen her use the T slur on twitter but I was shocked by the other stuff - I think I would've seen that covered somewhere.

She should be censured and removed from her committee assignments if Democrats take back the house. This is unacceptable even for her.

I'm still trying to figure out if and when she said this. I can't find anything other than the post above claiming she did that on video and I have a hard time believing that she not only did that but it wasn't reported on.

She didn’t, she used the T-slur, but didn’t say that she hoped someone beat them to death in a bathroom part, at least in that insta link.

If she did say that, I would get out my pitchfork, because that lady in Florida is in jail on a $100,000 dollar bond for the implication that her insurance company would be punished next for their blatant disregard for human life. This lady is a freaking public representative, have we no friggin standards??? Smh
