Rep. Nancy Mace

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is now getting criticism from her own side of the political aisle following her eruption at local police officers who were escorting her to a flight.

In a Tuesday post to his official Facebook page, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) made it clear that he didn't support his Palmetto State colleague's recent outburst at the Charleston International Airport. Mace was reportedly "loudly cursing" at both airport police and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents due to confusion about where they were supposed to meet her, according to an official report submitted by an officer with the Charleston County Aviation Authority Police Department. Scott publicly distanced himself from Mace's purported verbal assault on law enforcement and emphasized that he went out of his way to respect them.

"For reasons that are unclear, Rep. Nancy Mace invoked my name during and in the aftermath of her situation at the Charleston International Airport," Scott's post read. "So let me be clear on a number of points. I have used that airport since long before I was ever in Congress and every interaction I have had - without exception - has been positive. The women and men of the airport police are professional, courteous, and go beyond the call of duty."

"Because I have lived with death threats for longer than I can remember, the airport police do take extra security precautions, for which I am grateful," he continued. "I follow their lead, do what they ask, and respect the many responsibilities these officers have to balance. I have gotten to know many of them personally and try to never miss a chance to express my gratitude."

"Those who know me know that I do not use profanity - in public or private. It is never acceptable to berate police officers, airport staff, and TSA agents who are simply doing their jobs, nor is it becoming of a Member of Congress to use such vulgar language when dealing with constituents," he added. "Not only are these officers sworn to protect us, but we also take an oath to represent them. We work for them, not vice versa."

According to the police report, even after officers managed to locate Mace to escort her to her flight, she continued to yell at them, calling them "f—— incompetent" and saying "this is no way to treat a f—— U.S. Representative." The officer who submitted the report "stated he was in disbelief regarding her behavior" and that "a U.S. Representative should not be acting the way she was." Mace also chided officers that they wouldn't treat Sen. Scott or Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in a similar fashion. Scott ended his Facebook post by directly addressing Mace — without mentioning her name.

"For those who want to invoke my name, please have the courtesy to note my actions and how I treat police officers, TSA agents, and fellow travelers with the respect they deserve," he wrote.
