Nancy Mace's 'very nasty' conduct revealed in police report



An internal investigation by the Charleston Airport Police Department found
that Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina is at fault for her tirade
against law enforcement officers and Transportation Security Administration
staff, according to a copy of the report obtained by The Washington Post.

The report found that while “minor miscommunication” between Mace's staff and
police officers led to a delay in an escort for Mace through the airport in
October, Mace's behavior became an unnecessary "spectacle" as she hurled
insults at law enforcement and TSA staff—who at the time were not being paid
during the government shutdown.

Mace shouted at law enforcement officers, saying she was “sick of your shit”
and that they were "fucking idiots" and "fucking incompetent," according to the
report. Mace reportedly shouted that she should be treated better because she
is a "fucking representative." And a TSA officer reportedly overheard Mace
talking on the phone and asking why she "isn't being treated like a senator."

Airport employees reportedly described her conduct in the encounter as “very
nasty, very rude” and “very unbecoming” of an elected lawmaker.

The report also found that the miscommunication was the result of information
being "relayed through multiple staffers, as the Congresswoman appears to have
high personnel turnover”—a well-documented phenomenon as Mace is reportedly a
monster to work for.

Mace has spent weeks raging about the airport incident, which has turned into
an embarrassing distraction for her fledgling gubernatorial campaign. After her
inappropriate outburst became public, Mace spun up a conspiracy theory about
how she was “targeted” by airport staff. She also threatened to file a lawsuit
against the airport and others for defamation.

Her fixation on getting revenge on the airport has led members of her own
party to criticize her and worry about her mental health.

“There’s something wrong with Nancy Mace. And I’m not a fan of hers, and it’s
increasingly because she’s not mentally well, and it’s really clear she’s not
mentally well, and I don’t know if she has friends who can do an intervention
with her, but Nancy Mace needs a real intervention," right-wing radio host
Erick Erickson said on his program as Mace spiralled over the airport debacle.

Mace’s airport tirade is also hurting her gubernatorial bid.

Before her airport meltdown, polls showed Mace leading the crowded GOP
primary field. But a poll from earlier in December found Mace falling into
fourth place, with nearly half of Republican voters viewing her unfavorably.

Ultimately, law enforcement officers aren’t the only people Mace has targeted.

Mace’s invective against a transgender member of Congress led Democratic
lawmakers to label her a bigot and a bully. Mace also hurled insults, including
“Fuck you,” at a constituent who asked her a simple question at a makeup store.
And former staffers called her “toxic” and “delusional” for how they were
treated.

The silver lining from all of this is that Mace’s out-of-control conduct
could cause her to lose the gubernatorial election, meaning we should have to
deal with her less in the future.
