An inner investigation by the Charleston Airport Police Division discovered that Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina is at fault for her tirade in opposition to regulation enforcement officers and Transportation Safety Administration workers, based on a replica of the report obtained by The Washington Put up.
The report discovered that whereas “minor miscommunication” between Mace’s workers and law enforcement officials led to a delay in an escort for Mace by means of the airport in October, Mace’s conduct grew to become an pointless “spectacle” as she hurled insults at regulation enforcement and TSA workers—who on the time weren’t being paid throughout the federal government shutdown.
Mace shouted at regulation enforcement officers, saying she was “sick of your shit” and that they had been “fucking idiots” and “fucking incompetent,” based on the report. Mace reportedly shouted that she ought to be handled higher as a result of she is a “fucking representative.” And a TSA officer reportedly overheard Mace speaking on the cellphone and asking why she “isn’t being treated like a senator.”

The report additionally discovered that the miscommunication was the results of data being “relayed by means of a number of staffers, because the Congresswoman seems to have excessive personnel turnover”—a well-documented phenomenon as Mace is reportedly a monster to work for.
Mace has spent weeks raging concerning the airport incident, which has changed into an embarrassing distraction for her fledgling gubernatorial marketing campaign. After her inappropriate outburst grew to become public, Mace spun up a conspiracy concept about how she was “targeted” by airport workers. She additionally threatened to file a lawsuit in opposition to the airport and others for defamation.
Her fixation on getting revenge on the airport has led members of her personal get together to criticize her and fear about her psychological well being.
“There’s one thing incorrect with Nancy Mace. And I’m not a fan of hers, and it’s more and more as a result of she’s not mentally nicely, and it’s actually clear she’s not mentally nicely, and I don’t know if she has mates who can do an intervention along with her, however Nancy Mace wants an actual intervention,” right-wing radio host Erick Erickson stated on his program as Mace spiralled over the airport debacle.
Mace’s airport tirade can also be hurting her gubernatorial bid.
Earlier than her airport meltdown, polls confirmed Mace main the crowded GOP major area. However a ballot from earlier in December discovered Mace falling into fourth place, with almost half of Republican voters viewing her unfavorably.
In the end, regulation enforcement officers aren’t the one individuals Mace has focused.
Mace’s invective in opposition to a transgender member of Congress led Democratic lawmakers to label her a bigot and a bully. Mace additionally hurled insults, together with “Fuck you,” at a constituent who requested her a easy query at a make-up retailer. And former staffers known as her “toxic” and “delusional” for a way they had been handled.
The silver lining from all of that is that Mace’s out-of-control conduct might trigger her to lose the gubernatorial election, which means we must always must take care of her much less sooner or later.
