Lucia I Suarez Sang and Fin Daniel Gómez ·
CBS News reported on the Charleston airport police incident report, quoting officers' written account of Mace's conduct and noting that any other traveler behaving the same way would have prompted a police response.
CBS News reporters Lucia I Suarez Sang and Fin Daniel Gómez covered the Charleston airport police report on November 1, 2025, detailing officers' written account of Rep. Mace's behavior during an October 30 security escort. Officers described Mace as having "loudly" cursed and made "derogatory comments" toward them. Mace's office disputed the characterization.
One officer's written note drew particular attention: the officer observed that any other traveler acting the same way would have prompted a police dispatch, underscoring the officers' view that Mace's congressional status was the only reason the encounter did not escalate further.
"began loudly cursing and making derogatory comments to us and about the department. She repeatedly stated we were '(expletive) incompetent' … Any other person in the airport acting and talking the way she did, our department would have been dispatched, and we would have addressed the behavior."
