WASHINGTON (AP) — A person accused of accosting U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in a Capitol Office building pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor assault charge. Witnesses told police that James McIntyre, 33, of Chicago, shook Mace's hand in an “exaggerated, aggressive” manner after approaching the South Carolina Republican in the Rayburn House Office Building on Tuesday evening, according to a police affidavit. Mace, who is identified only by her initials in a court filing, posted a string of social media messages about the incident. She said she was “physically accosted” at the Capitol, and she thanked President-elect Donald Trump for calling her Wednesday morning to check on her condition. “I’m going to be fine just as soon as the pain and soreness subside,” Mace wrote. Mace declined to be treated by a paramedic after her encounter with McIntyre, who was arrested Tuesday by the Capitol Police, the affidavit says. Mace told police that McIntyre said, “Trans youth serve advocacy,” while shaking her hand. Last month, Mace proposed a resolution that would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Mace said the bill is aimed specifically at Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress. A magistrate judge ordered McIntyre’s release after an arraignment in Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Efforts to reach an attorney for McIntyre weren't immediately successful.

NEXT UP Nicholls State next plays Tuesday against Southern University at New Orleans at home, and New Orleans will visit Iowa on Sunday. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .NoneAssistant coach Dan Soper says Ulster must "get up and go again" after the 61-21 hammering by holders Toulouse in their opening Investec Champions Cup game. Richie Murphy's youthful and injury-hit side shipped nine tries at the Stade Ernest-Wallon and have now won just two of their past 11 games in the Champions Cup. They are hoping to bounce back at home to Bordeaux on Saturday and Soper says their return to training has been "tough" following the heavy defeat. "We were off yesterday so everyone has gathered their thoughts and there were a few home truths today," he said. "Toulouse are a hell of a team and it was a tough ask, but there were some areas where we let ourselves down and we are disappointed with that." Soper believes the quick turnaround after playing on Sunday means that Ulster can ill afford to dwell on the loss, but they must also try and rectify some mistakes made in France. It is another difficult test at Kingspan Stadium on Saturday as they welcome a Bordeaux side second in France's Top 14. "We've been out on the pitch today so you can't dwell too much on things you have to get up and go again," he added. "It's a young group and they're learning all the time, but we need to start putting in performances." Soper does hope that despite a lengthy injury list, Ulster can respond to the emphatic Toulouse defeat and put on a performance to be proud of on home soil. "There's always pressure and expectation on Ulster playing at home this time of year, but that's a privilege of what we do, and we will be turning up on Saturday expecting to perform and get a result," he said. "Whatever structure there has been in Europe, a home game has usually been a must-win if you think you have a chance of progressing." Bordeaux opened their European campaign with an impressive 42-28 win over Leicester on Sunday and Soper is wary of the threats they pose. "This might sound ridiculous given Toulouse have Antoine Dupont but in transition, they are even more dangerous, some of their broken-field attack is frighteningly good," he explained. "They're another top calibre side so limiting their opportunities to do their thing will be important." Soper also believes Ulster need to have a greater emphasis on their display this week and not get fixated on what Bordeaux will do. "As a coaching group I don't know how long we spent saying to the players 'this is what Toulouse do and this is what to be wary of' instead of saying 'this is us'. "We've looked at Bordeaux, but we're trying to get the focus on us and what we didn't do well enough and what we are in control of doing better."None
