Police investigation faults Nancy Mace for profanity-laced airport tirade
The Washington Post reported on an internal police investigation concluding that Rep. Nancy Mace turned a minor vehicle-color miscommunication into a 'spectacle' through her conduct at Charleston International Airport. The investigation found she had berated TSA officers and airport police with profanity and insults in an October 30 incident.
Charleston Airport Police Chief James Woods released findings of an internal investigation into Rep. Nancy Mace's October 30 conduct at Charleston International Airport, placing significant blame on Mace for escalating a minor logistical mix-up. The investigation documented that Mace used profanity toward TSA officers, called them "fing idiots," and declared she was "sick of your s." A TSA officer described her demeanor as "very nasty, very rude." Mace disputed the report's characterizations.
"Her continued failure to follow established procedures at the checkpoint is what turned a minor miscommunication over the color of a vehicle into the spectacle that this issue has become."
