Tim Scott Hits Back at Nancy Mace Over Congresswoman's Airport Saga
Amelia Benavides-Colón ·
NOTUS reported Sen. Scott's pointed response to Mace's invocation of his name in the airport incident aftermath, with Scott contrasting his own respectful treatment of police and airport staff with Mace's reported conduct.
NOTUS reporter Amelia Benavides-Colón covered Sen. Tim Scott's response to the Charleston airport incident on November 4, 2025. Scott objected to Mace naming him in her public statements and issued a pointed contrast between his conduct toward law enforcement and airport personnel and her reported behavior. Scott's statement was among the first from a fellow Republican to put distance between the party and Mace's conduct.
Scott called on any colleague invoking his name to first acknowledge how he treats the people who work in airports and described berating officers as categorically unacceptable.
"For those who want to invoke my name, please have the courtesy to note my actions and how I treat police officers, TSA agents, and fellow travelers with the respect they deserve."
