HuffPost covered Rep. Nancy Mace's CNN appearance with Kaitlan Collins, focusing on Mace's denial that she called officers an idiot and her partial admission that portions of the police report were 'falsified.'

HuffPost's Jazmin Tolliver highlighted the internal contradictions in Rep. Nancy Mace's CNN appearance, including her denial that she had ever called anyone an idiot and her subsequent X post hours later clarifying that she had in fact done so once. Collins pressed Mace directly on whether her denial amounted to an accusation that the officers had fabricated their accounts. Mace acknowledged expressing frustration but rejected the specific characterizations in the police report.

"You're saying the police officers are lying?"
