Part of: Charleston airport / TSA incident (Oct. 2025, June 2026)
Mace tells Fox Business she's 'gone into hiding' over security fears
On Fox Business with Maria Bartiromo on Dec. 11, 2025, Rep. Nancy Mace said she had 'gone into hiding' and described her last public appearance as an incident three weeks prior, a claim The Daily Beast found contradicted by her own documented schedule, votes, and social-media posts.
On Dec. 11, 2025, Rep. Nancy Mace appeared on Fox Business with Maria Bartiromo and said she had effectively withdrawn from public life for security reasons:
"I had an incident just three weeks ago, where I was in public, it was the last time I was in public."
The Daily Beast reported that the claim was contradicted by Mace's own documented public schedule, congressional votes, and numerous social-media posts made during the same period in which she said she had not been in public.
The interview came two days after Mace called the Charleston airport police report "100% fictitious" on CNN (see the related dispatch) and one day after AG Alan Wilson called her accusations "a categorical lie" in his own CNN appearance (see the related dispatch).
