Repubican Congresswoman Nancy Mace is running for governor of South Carolina. Last Thursday morning she didn’t help her cause, reportledy cursing loudly and “making derogatory comments” towards airport security. And she keeps extending the news cycle, now saying she plans to sue American Airlines on the theory that they’re fabricating records about her behavior to manufacture this story.
- An escort detail was supposed to meet her curbside at the airport and take her through security, but there was a mixup over what car they were looking for.
- So went inside on her own, headed straight for Known Crewmember security, and “began loudly cursing and making derogatory comments to us and about the department,” including telling the officers “we were ‘f—ing incompetent’ and ‘this is no way to treat a f—ing U.S. Representative.’”
As she was escorted to her gate, she continued her profanity‑laden tirade. One officer logged: “The entire walk to gate B‑8 she was cursing and complaining and often doing the same into her phone.”
Mace told officers that they’d never mistreat Senator Tim Scott this way (because the black guy always gets better treatment from police). He says he wants no part of this!

An American Airlines gat agent told the officers he was “in disbelief regarding her behavior” and that a U.S. Representative should not be acting the way she was. Now American is getting sued?
I've retained an attorney to take swift and severe legal action against American Airlines and Charleston Airport for allegations they falsified incident reports to defame me.
SUING FOR DEFAMATION!

If you’re running for governor of a southern state, the last thing you want to do is extend the story about your mistreatment of law enforcement. And if you’re a politician so given to tirades that you lost your entire staff in under a year, the last thing you want is to initiate proceedings that open you up to discovery. Meanwhile she wants the airport CEO fired, when public demands like that don’t make the kind of friends you need to succeed in your run.
Whatever you think of Congresswoman Mace, she is getting very bad advice.
“See what you made me do!!!!!”
Dear AA,
Ban her. If CHS is her preferred airport, she’s f’d.
Regards.
Good luck with that. Unless she’s doing this per se, I bet her attorney(s) got a nice, juicy retainer, so that when this inevitably fails, at least they get paid.
S. Carolina Republican here. In MAGA-speak Nancy Mace is a total low IQ loser. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Lock her up. Ban her. No fly list. Just a short ride on Amtrak.
@David S — Thank you for your ‘Thank you for your attention to this matter.’
Also, “please clap…” jeb!
Senator Karen
Her political career is likely over. If she was a liberal, she’d earn extra points for abusing law enforcement or threatening to murder children. Conservative voters do not appreciate poor behavior towards law enforcement
These people have no shame. They are literally caught on film acting a fool. When caught, their response is to turn around and sue, claiming it was your fault. There is no end to the depths to which they will sink to get their way…everyone else be damned. I don’t care if you a D or an R, this kind of behavior is disgusting.
