U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace’s profanity-laced tirade inside Charleston International Airport is facing forceful blowback from South Carolina’s two Republican senators who say her conduct proved unbecoming and disrespectful to police.
Mace, who is also a GOP candidate for governor, is threatening to sue multiple parties tied to the airport for defamation, including its administration, police officials and a gate agent with American Airlines.
“We believe Congresswoman Nancy Mace has been subjected to a calculated and coordinated effort to malign her character through deliberately falsified documentation," said her attorney Larry Klayman.
"No American, let alone a sitting member of Congress, should be subjected to institutional misconduct and defamation of this nature,” he said.
