Trans Activist Arrested for Threatening to Kill Nancy Mace

A teenage trans activist has been accused of threatening to assassinate Nancy Mace, the most outspoken lawmaker in Congress on transgender issues.

Samuel Theodore Cain, 19, of Greenville, South Carolina, was arrested and charged with threatening the life of a public official on Thursday, the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) announced.

Cain, who goes by 'Roxie Wolfe' online, posted in April: 'I'm going to assassinate (redacted) with a gun and I'm being 100% dead a**,' according to a copy of the arrest warrant.

The redacted part said: 'Representative Nancy Mace,' images of the original X post show.

Mace, 47, a high-profile Republican congresswoman from South Carolina, said she would attend the first court hearing in person.

She wrote on X on Friday morning: 'Heading to Greenville, SC for the bond hearing of the man in a dress who threatened to kill me. Real women stand together. Real men stand up to protect women.'

The bond hearing was scheduled for 9:30am local time Friday.

Cain faces a potential maximum of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Mace has tackled transgender issues head-on more than anybody else in Congress.

She has fought transgender participation in school sports and passed a ban on trans women's bathroom use of female facilities at the Capitol.

As Mace has cracked down on pro-trans policies, there have been angry and even violent reactions at times.

'The radical tr*ns movement is no longer just about pronouns,' Mace wrote in one of her many social media posts about the death threat and subsequent arrest.

'It's about silencing anyone who dares to speak the truth. With threats. With violence. With hate.'

Mace told Fox News that Cain even threatened to kill her children.

When contacted by the FBI regarding the death threats, Cain allegedly confessed to authoring the post, but added that he 'didn't mean it.'

In another post with a mugshot of Cain, Mace wrote: 'Samuel Theodore Cain is first trans activist in country to be arrested for death threats against us, thanks to Capitol Police and SLED.'

'Roxie was 'dead*ss' arrested. We'll let the photo stand for itself because this individual is obviously unwell in more ways than one. Hopefully they have makeup wipes in prison.'

Mace has shared that her crusade is mostly about defending women's rights. A survivor of sexual assault, she openly talks about her belief in protecting spaces for females.

'Real men don't threaten or hurt women,' she posted about Cain. 'Although, you obviously wouldn't know that. You also apparently didn't know actions have consequences.'

Photos taken of Cain's X account, which has since been deleted, show that he supported Democrats and liberal causes.

One image shows Cain holding up two 'I voted' stickers in November claiming, 'did my civic duty today and voted for Kamala twice.'

Posts he made after writing the death threat show he was afraid of the online backlash he received for his post, and he expressed dismay he could be doxxed.

It is not the first time Mace has had a violent encounter with the trans community.

In December, Mace claims she was 'physically accosted' by a trans activist. The individual was later arrested by Capitol Police and the Republican wore a sling over her arm and shoulder for days after.

Mace has also taken on Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., the first trans member of Congress.

She called the Democrat a 'man' repeatedly and admitted her bathroom ban was specifically to target McBride.

Keen on enforcing her bathroom ban, Mace and fellow Republican Lauren Boebert even chased a person into a women's restroom thinking they were trans, though it turned out she wasn't.

Mace has also had several other high-profile run-ins with trans activists, including a recent incident where one individual appeared to almost throw a plant at Mace.

The spat came at a constituent event where Mace used the word 'tr***y,' causing a crowd member to confront the Republican over the 'derogatory' phrase.
