A biologically-male transgender member of the domestic terrorist group Antifa – who was not prosecuted when he posted an implicit death threat against South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace last May – is now in a women’s prison in Oregon and facing charges of attempted murder.
"This blood is on the hands of every prosecutor who looked at this threat and looked away. I pray for the safety of the women he’s housed with,” Rep. Mace said in a statement Wednesday, reacting to the news and recounting the death threat made against her by “a transgender named ‘Rem Heathen’ whose real name is Michael Richard Fadich, the Antifa violent extremist”:
“In May 2025, Fadich posted a graphic on Instagram depicting a gun pointed directly at Rep. Mace’s face. The message was unmistakable: he wanted her dead.
“The Office of Rep. Mace reported this threat. Prosecutors did nothing. Now, eight months later, he is charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting someone in Portland just last month. A man is in the hospital because the system failed to stop a violent extremist when it had the chance.”
"To every prosecutor who declined to act: you had the chance to stop this man, and you didn't. And someone took a bullet for it,” Rep. Mace says in the statement, calling for the Justice Department and FBI to “to immediately investigate why federal prosecutors failed to act” when she reported this and other threats against her. Mace’s office says that the congresswoman receives an average of more than 1,300 threats annually.
In December, Fadich and another biological male transgender Antifa member were allegedly involved in the attempted murder of an Oregon man found with gunshot wounds in a parking lot of an apartment complex.
Both men are being held in a women’s prison, because Oregon law allows self-identification of sex.
