South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace was accosted at the United States Capitol and police have made an arrest.

The incident happened on Tuesday and the representative took to X to explain what happened.

“I was physically accosted tonight on Capitol grounds over my fight to protect women,” she said. “Capitol police have arrested him. All the violence and threats keep proving our point. Women deserve to be safe. Your threats will not stop my fight for women!”

The Capitol Police announced that they arrested 33-year-old James McIntyre of Illinois, The Daily Wire reported.

“Just before 6:00 p.m., the Member of Congress’ office reported an incident in the Rayburn House Office Building,” the Capitol Police said. “House Division officers, and agents with the Threat Assessment Section, tracked down the suspect.”

The representative has been on a crusade to keep men out of women’s spaces ever since a transgender representative was elected in November.

She was concerned that the new representative would be using women’s facilities at the Capitol but she has expanded her crusade to protect all American women.

The representative said that she has been getting death threats since she spearheaded the cause of preventing men dressed as women from using women’s facilities at the Capitol.

The representative was confronted on the issue by ABC News reporter Jay O’Brien last month.

“My question to you is, you have said it was created in response to Representative-elect McBride. Should legislation be created targeted at one specific person?” the reporter asked.

“It doesn’t mention anyone in the legislation,” Mace responded.

“But you said it was aimed at her,” the reporter said.

“No, I have said it is a result of this. I’m not going to allow biological men into women’s spaces. I will stand in the brink and stand in the way of anyone on the radical left who says it is okay for a penis to be in the women’s locker room or bathroom or changing room. Hell no. I’m not going to stand for it, and the Speaker said it will be in the House rules package. If it is not, I’ll be ready with a privileged motion to force a vote on this,” said Mace.

“This is not okay. I’m a survivor of rape, I’m a survivor of sexual abuse. And I’m not going to allow any man into any female private spaces. End of story. And by the way, I’m getting death threats from men pretending to be women. Why is it that these crazy people — the insanity of the radical left — are willing to kill women over a man’s right to be in the women’s restroom?” she added.
