South Carolina firebrand running for governor allegedly abused agents working without pay during shutdown
The US representative Nancy Mace, a Republican firebrand running for South Carolina governor, is drawing scrutiny after a police report described her berating airport police and TSA agents as she was being escorted to a gate last week.
The profane incident at the Charleston international airport threatens to derail her run as she said she would sue the airport authority for defamation and false reporting.
An initial incident report from the Charleston county aviation authority police department first obtained by Wired describes Mace cursing at airport staff, saying that this was no way to treat a “f—ing U.S. representative”. She invoked the name of South Carolina senator Tim Scott, saying that the Republican lawmaker would not be treated as she was, according to the report.
For everybody’s sake, I hope you’re right.
I’d think sending tens of billions of dollars to foreign governments - plus spending hundreds of millions on aesthetic remodeling of the white house - while simultaneously threatening and endangering the food security and medical coverage of the entire country would be considered bad politics, too. At this point I honestly wouldn’t even be surprised if they try spinning furloughed workers as attempting an insurrection or something and that the workers actually owe money to the government for their machinations.
