Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) yelled at police and called them “fucking incompetent” during a meltdown at the Charleston International Airport on Thursday, according to a police report first obtained by Wired.
Mace was apparently upset after officers with the Charleston County Aviation Authority Police Department arrived late to a meetup spot at the airport to escort the congresswoman.

That’s when the expletives began to fly, according to the report.
After officers located Mace, she began “loudly cursing and making derogatory comments to us about the department,” the report, obtained by Wired, said. “She repeatedly stated we were ‘Fucking incompetent,’ and ‘this is no way to treat a fucking US Representative.’”
The report adds that a Transportation Security Administration supervisor also had problems with Mace, telling officers that the congresswoman treated their staff poorly.
“The entire walk to gate B-8 she was cursing and complaining and often doing the same into her phone,” an officer said in the report. Another officer noted that after “several minutes with her continuing her tirade, she finally boarded the aircraft.”

After Mace departed, a gate agent for American Airlines told officers that “he was in disbelief regarding her behavior,” according to the report. “He implied that a US Representative should not be acting the way she was.”
In a statement to Wired and The Washington Post, Mace’s director of operations, Cameron Morabito, said they are forced to take Mace’s “safety extremely seriously” following the killing of right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk.
“Apparently, simply arriving at an airport now makes for a worthy headline,” the statement said. “We are forced to take the Congresswoman’s safety extremely seriously. After the world watched Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the threats against her have only intensified. Our security procedures are based solely on legitimate safety concerns, and any attempt to politicize this reality is both dangerous and reckless.”
