You have MAGA Republican Congresswoman of South Carolina, Nancy Mace, apparently faking being attacked by a trans activist who turns out not to be a trans activist, but a foster care youth activist who simply shook Nancy Mace's hand. And then she exaggerated being injured by a handshake and then proceeded to go on social media and claim that she was physically assaulted by a trans man activist. And it seems that she then went on her burner accounts to engage with her own pity party over an event that really didn't occur. According to witnesses, can you really get more pathetic than this?

I guess you can with MAGA, but let's just break it down. So over the past few weeks, MAGA Republican Nancy Mace has been going on Fox and all the right-wing news networks. Her whole thing right now is because there is a Democratic trans woman, Congresswoman, who's now in the House of Representatives from the at-large District of Delaware, Nancy Mace, over and over again. I mean, I'm talking quite literally hundreds of posts a day attacking transgender people, attacking her transgender colleague in the most discriminatory of terms over and over again. And by the way, three years ago, MAGA Republican Nancy Mace was a completely

different person. And she made public statements supporting the LGBTQ community, supporting transgender people. But now she sees this as a culture war issue ticket for her to get on Fox. Also, her South Carolina congressional district was gerrymandered. So it's pretty much comprised mostly of MAGA people right now, and it became less moderate. So she just changed her personality like 100%. Let's take a look at some of these headlines right here, and let me break this all down for you. So here's the headline. This Republican representative may have lied about trans activists attacking her. Can you think of any more MAGA headline than that? I don't know. Maybe Donald Trump says that Mexico should be 51st state as well as Canada.

Anyway, here's what we posted on the Midas Touch Network as we were looking at her post. It was post, post, post, post, post. Oh, and then by the way, she then started to wear like a cast and like a sling and like it acted like her arm was broken. We'll get to that in a second. This is what we wrote on the Midas Touch Network. When you forget to switch off your burner account. So Nancy Mace keeps saying,

yes, I was physically accosted tonight. More to come. Hashtag hold the line. And then it goes, oh no, what happened? And then Nancy Mace responds, a pro-trans guy out of Illinois assaulted her. Assaulted her? You mean assaulted you?

Forgot that you weren't on your burner count and you were on your official congressional count? There's a lot more of these like this one. Yes, I was physically accosted tonight. More to come. You okay? She's in pain. That's what Nancy Mesa is saying about herself. She's in pain, but she will survive as she always does.

And she's not well right now. I mean, it's some bizarre stuff. Nancy Mace previously posted, I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-trans man. A pro-trans 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 trans violence and threats on my life will only make me double down f around and find out hashtag hold the line she got this guy who shook her hand who again is not even a

trans activist he's just a foster care youth activist named James McIntyre. He simply said, hey, it would be nice if you respected the trans community more. And then she went, ow, ow, you hurted me. You broke my arm. Oh, no. And then she had the Capitol Police arrest him. And then all of the corporate media were doing these stories on violence against members of Congress. By the way, there's real violence taking place against members of Congress,

mostly MAGA people against Democratic Congress members. But there's also violence. Marjorie Taylor Greene's been targeted before. Violence is never the answer. Let me be very clear, regardless of political party. But faking this crap is some real serious, serious, it's a real serious problem. Here's what we wrote about on MidasPlus.com. Our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, put it thus. Witnesses are now disputing Nancy Mace's claim that she was physically assaulted at a foster care event

in the House of Representatives. Several say that longtime foster care advocate, James McIntyre, who Mace had arrested by Capitol Police for assaulting her, simply shook her hand. The imprint is a magazine or newspaper which covers foster care events interviewed witness Elliot Hinkle and others. Quote, from what I saw, it was a normal handshake, an interaction that I would expect any legislator to expect from anyone as a constituent. Nancy Mace alleges that she was assaulted by a trans activist. For some reason, the drama never ends

with Mace. She said that Trump called to check on her. I'm going to be just fine as soon as the pain and soreness subsides. She walked into Congress in an arm sling, looking like she just did three tours in Iraq. More from Mace, quote, I never want to hear the left call themselves the party of love and tolerance again. And then we get the police report. There are police reports. And as it turns out, the most that happened, according to the police report, if you accept Nancy Mace's version of events, is that the guy held the handshake longer than Nancy Mace wanted. So the guy did to her what Donald Trump did to President outrage in the media from the left on the assault of Nancy Mace? happen, as Ron Filipkowski says, which she plays it up for all it's worth in her never-ending quest to get on Fox and Newsmax and other right-wing media to get as much attention as possible. Emily Brooks from The Hill writes, a disputed handshake is at the center of Tuesday's incident

involving Representative Nancy Mace that resulted in an Illinois man's arrest, according to her police report of witness who spoke to the hill here is the police report with mace's accounting to officers that relays a more contentious interaction said subject began to aggressively and in an exaggerated manner shake her arm up and down the victim stated that she attempted to pull her hand away from the subject but was held in place by the subject. But a witness at the event, Elliot Hinkle, told me, quote, James McIntyre met her by the door where people could see her and him and say, Trans youth are in the foster care and they need your support and gave a handshake and then walked back to his seat and sat down.

Adding that it seemed like a pretty normal interaction. James McIntyre, who's been arrested for assault, has now pled not guilty to being charged with assault. Nancy Mace posts photos of herself as Wonder Woman. She goes, I'm Stan with Nancy Mace. War pink tonight. Celebrate all my real womanhood. A woman being bullied for, wait for it, protecting woman is the height of gas lighting. I'll drink your tears in my Pinot Noir. Cheers. Just so you see, here's what Nancy Mace posted back on June 4th, 2021. The pandemic, this is from Nancy Mace back then, the pandemic kept all of us from fully celebrating pride in the low country in 2020. But hopefully as we finally begin to open back up,

we can all come together to celebrate the challenges our LGBTQ plus community has overcome and the bright future ahead. Hashtag pride month, hashtag pride 2021. So what, she just reinvented her whole personality? That's the thing with these magas. All of this stuff is so performative, it's so phony, over and over again, these stunts, this crap.

That's why I just want normalcy here at the Midas Touch Network. And by the way, may I just share with you this short video here of Congresswoman McBride, transgender woman, congresswoman from the at-large district in Delaware. And she says, look, I don't talk about being transgender. She goes, I talk about representing the Delaware people. You don't want me to use your bathroom? Okay. I'm here to represent the people. Can you stop turning me into some culture war issue? That's not why the people of Delaware elected me me watch democratic congresswoman sarah mcbride act mature play this clip here's what the speaker said a man is a man and a woman

is a woman and a man cannot become a woman that said i also believe that's what scripture teaches what i just said but i also believe that we treat everybody with dignity do you believe that you are being treated with dignity by your colleagues I didn't run for the United States House of Representatives to talk about what bathroom I use I didn't run to talk about myself. I ran to deliver for Delawareans. And while Republicans in Congress seem focused on bathrooms and trans people and specifically me, I'm focused on rolling up my sleeves, diving into the details, setting up my office, and beginning the hard work of delivering for Delawareans on the issues that I know keep them up at night. That's a normal response right there. Need a break from crowded stores and
