Nancy Mace Responds to Video of Her 'Skipping' TSA Airport Security Line
Jenni Fink ·
Newsweek reports on a viral video showing Mace and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz being escorted past a TSA security line at Reagan National Airport during the government shutdown; Mace's office called it a misrepresentation and said the escort was Capitol Police, not TSA.
Newsweek reporter Jenni Fink covered the March 2026 video that appeared to show Reps. Nancy Mace and Debbie Wasserman Schultz bypassing a TSA security line at Reagan National Airport (DCA). The report placed the video in the context of a partial government shutdown that left TSA officers working without pay and created hours-long airport lines; it also noted the Senate's consideration of legislation to end congressional fast-track access, and Delta Air Lines' separate suspension of that access. Wasserman Schultz's office did not respond to Newsweek's request for comment. Mace's office told Newsweek:
"This video is a misrepresentation. Last week, she flew through New York and waited in the standard TSA line like every other American."
