Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called for the full weight of the law to come down on the transgender person who said they would assassinate her in a post on social media.
Mace provided a victim impact statement in Samuel Cain’s bond hearing on Friday morning, explaining that Cain should be denied bond and have the maximum penalties assessed.
The person, a transgender-identifying biological male, wrote: “I’M GOING TO ASSASSINATE REPRESENTATIVE NANCY MACE WITH A GUN AND I’M BEING 100% DEAD ASS,” on X April 26 under the username raystr1ker. Cain was later called by the FBI and admitted to making the threat, but said the threat wasn’t serious. South Carolina authorities arrested Cain on Thursday for making a threat toward a public official.
