Nancy Mace berated airport police and TSA agents, incident report says

The Washington Post's first major national report on the FOIA'd Charleston airport police report, detailing Mace's conduct toward officers and TSA agents on Oct. 30, 2025. The piece put the incident on the national radar the day after the report surfaced.

The Washington Post reported on October 31, 2025 that a police incident report from Charleston International Airport described Rep. Nancy Mace berating officers and TSA agents during an October 30 encounter. The report was obtained via a public-records request. Mace's office disputed the characterization of events.

The FITSNews police-report account, published the same day, quotes the report directly as describing Mace repeatedly stating officers were "fucking incompetent" and that it was "no way to treat a fucking U.S. representative." The Post's reporting drew on the same underlying document.

"She repeatedly stated we were 'fucking incompetent' and 'this is no way to treat a fucking U.S. representative.'"
