Trans Activist Sentenced for Threats Against Rep Mace | Charleston News
Description
A transgender activist, Samuel Theodore Cain, just received a five-year sentence for threatening to assassinate U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace — including 30 months of house arrest and five years probation — after posting a chilling, gun-focused threat on X in May 2025. With a permanent restraining order, GPS monitoring, psychiatric treatment, a strict curfew, and a ban on firearms, social media, and leaving South Carolina, Cain faces severe restrictions. Mace condemned the violence as tearing at the nation’s fabric, but vowed to stand firm for her constituents — a stark warning about the escalating threats facing public officials today.
