#NancyMace blames #transgender people for her public airport freak-out

She has claimed that police lied about what happened and that the #TSA and state attorney general are conspiring against her.

by Daniel Villarreal , December 11, 2025,

"Anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who is running for South Carolina governor, blamed transgender people for her public meltdown that occurred at the Charleston International Airport on October 30. A police report said Mace turned a minor security miscommunication into a swear-filled 'spectacle' that left airport employees visibly upset. "

And then there's this gem... Outrage about #RightsViolations! Ummmmm... Sorry Barbie! You are part of the problem!

"[Mace] has claimed that her selection for additional airport security screening was 'the stuff of the DEEP STATE and #BigBrother,' and claimed that her lawsuit against the airport 'may bring South Carolina’s Attorney General down in flames with it, and several others.' "
