Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) lost it and berated TSA agents during a meltdown at the Charleston International Airport on Thursday, according to reports.
Mace, who is running to be governor of South Carolina in 2026, "cursed at police officers, making repeated derogatory comments toward them, according to a Wired report published Friday after the organization issued a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain a police report.
"The report says that a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) supervisor told officers that Mace had treated their staff similarly and that they would be reporting her to their superiors," WIRED reports.
Officers spoke with a TSA agent, who said “he was very upset with how she acted at the checkpoint.”
"This supervisor, according to the report, told the officers that Mace had 'talked to several TSA agents the same way' and that they would be 'submitting a report to his superiors about her unacceptable behavior.' TSA agents are not currently being fully paid, due to the ongoing government shutdown," Wired reports.
Charleston County Aviation Authority Police Department police officers were reportedly told that Mace would arrive at the airport in a white BMW at 6:30 a.m. Thursday, and that they would escort her from the airport entry.
"Around 6:35, the report says, they were told she was running late; they never saw the car arrive," according to Wired.
When she arrived, she did not arrive in a white BMW, but instead in a gray or silver vehicle at 6:51 a.m.
"During the escort, Rep. Mace was talking loudly using profanity at times for others to hear,” according to a police report obtained by The State. “It appeared she was either dictating a message into her phone or talking to someone about the situation.”
In another, separate memo written by Officer Aaron Reed to a police lieutenant, Reed says Mace was “loudly cursing and making derogatory comments to us and about the department.”
Mace has taken to X to complain about the lack of security upon her arrival, sharing a surveillance video.
"And for the FAKE NEWS: This is the entrance ALL Members of Congress use at the airport. Are you going to write that Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott use the same entrance or no? Asking for a friend @postandcourier," Mace wrote.
