South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace's behavior at the Charleston International Airport has sparked controversy after she allegedly cursed and berated police officers, calling them "incompetent." According to a report obtained by WIRED, Mace was escorted from the curb to her flight by the airport's law enforcement, but her demeanor during the process left officers visibly shaken.
Mace had been told to arrive at 6:30 am for transport from the curb to her flight, and she allegedly failed to show up on time. When officers finally spotted her, Mace began using profanity and making derogatory comments towards them, stating that they were "Fucking incompetent." An officer who was part of the incident reported that Mace brought a colleague into the fray, further escalating the situation.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) supervisor told the officers that Mace had treated TSA staff in the same manner, and they would be filing a report to their superiors. One officer observed that Mace initially arrived at the airport in a BMW that was not white, which added to her already confrontational behavior.
An American Airlines gate agent later expressed his surprise at Mace's actions, stating that a U.S. Representative should not behave in such an manner. The incident report concludes by emphasizing that if another person had acted similarly, the department would have dispatched officers to address the situation.
Representative Nancy Mace's director of operations has issued a statement saying that she was forced to prioritize her safety due to recent threats against her following Charlie Kirk's assassination. However, critics are calling out Mace for attempting to politicize this narrative and downplaying her own behavior at the airport.

I mean, what's the deal with some people? Like, if you're gonna be late, just own it, right? And no need to take it out on the poor officers who are just doing their job. Can't even be bothered to show up on time, and then proceeds to cuss them out... 
class act, Nancy Mace is not 
. 
Not saying that's a good reason to behave poorly, but come on. And btw, if you're gonna be late and cuss out cops, at least have the decency to show up in your "official" vehicle - BMWs are not that hard to find 
.
she's supposed to be a rep for SC but instead she's just being super rude & aggressive towards ppl who are just doing their job 
I don't care about the threats or whatever that's no excuse to talk trash to cops and make them feel disrespected 
. The rep's director of ops is trying to spin this but it just looks like she's trying to avoid taking responsibility for her own behavior 
! Rep Nancy Mace is a total joke, acting like she's some kinda victim just 'cause of threats against her... meanwhile she's out here cussin' and disrespectin' cops 
. Like, who does that? And now the TSA is sayin they're gonna file a report on her, good for 'em! 
I mean, can't believe she even brought in some colleague to stir up trouble... talk about a total class act 
. Guess all those threats just gave her an excuse to be a brat, but honestly, it's not cool 
!
Oh man, what's going on with Rep. Nancy Mace? 
The thing is, I get that she was stressed about some threats against her, but that's not an excuse for acting out like a total diva 
Let me draw a quick diagram to show what happened... 
and to make matters worse, she's trying to spin this whole thing and say she had to prioritize her safety because of threats against her... but it looks like she was just being super rude and unprofessional. 
. As a retiree, I've always tried to conduct myself with dignity and respect, especially when it comes to law enforcement. What really bothers me is that she's trying to spin this as if she was a victim of threats against her, but it seems like she was just having a bad day
