A trans activist in Greenville, South Carolina, has been arrested by state authorities after threatening to assassinate Rep. Nancy Mace. Samuel T. Cain, who uses the alias “Roxie,” was arrested by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and was booked on Thursday into the Greenville County Detention Center on suspicion of threatening the life of a public official.
A post allegedly made by Cain stated in all caps, “I’m going to assassinate Representative Nancy Mace with a gun and I’m being 100% dead a**.” The US Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina declined to prosecute.
Mace has been the target of assaults and threats of violence by left-wing agitators over her criticisms of the inclusion of trans-identified males in women’s spaces. In December, LGBTQ activist James McIntyre was arrested for assaulting a government official.
In November, a Portland, Ore., Antifa and transgender activist by the name of Andromeda Boyle, formerly known as Joshua Ryan Matthew Boyle, was seen issuing violent threats towards Mace.
