Nancy Mace has been accused of berating law enforcement in a foul-mouthed tirade against police officers at a South Carolina Airport as they escorted the firebrand conservative to her gate.
A police report by the Charleston County Aviation Authority Police alleged that Mace - a Republican Congresswoman and candidate for governor - was scheduled to receive an escort Thursday from her drop off point straight to her flight at 6:30am.
By 6:35am, the report claimed, officers were told that Mace would be showing up late but they say that the white BMW slated to bring her to the airport never showed.
At 7am, however, officers said they were informed Mace was at what's known as the airport's Known Crewmember lane which is typically meant for flight crew members.
When the officers got to the congresswoman, things started to take a turn, with Mace allegedly 'loudly cursing and making derogatory comments to us about the department.'
Mace is accused of calling the officials 'f***ing incompetent and added that 'this is no way to treat a f***ing US Representative.'
One officer who brought Mace to her gate claimed she said that 'we would never treat Tim Scott like this,' referring to the junior senator from South Carolina.
'The entire walk to gate B-8 she was cursing and complaining and often doing the same into her phone,' one officer alleged.

Once Mace had left, the report said, a gate agent from American Airlines told the officers he couldn't believe what the congresswoman had done.
'He implied that a US Representative should not be acting the way she was.'
A TSA supervisor claimed that Mace had treated their agents similarly and would file a report of their own.
Mace has termed the story 'FAKE NEWS' and posted security footage of herself arriving to and going through the airport by herself.
'BREAKING NEWS: Nancy Mace arrives at the airport - with no security. Thank you for your attention to this matter!'
She also bristled against accusations that she used an exclusive entrance not meant for her.
'All federally elected officials including Senators Scott and Graham use the same Crew Member Access Point at airports. That’s the federal security protocol. Maybe check your facts next time.'
She also used the occasion to feud with Alan Wilson, the state's attorney general and one of her opponents in the governor's race, whom Mace has called a 'pedophile protector' for his unwillingness to prosecute sex crimes.
'I wish Alan Wilson spent as much time prosecuting p*dophiles as he does spying on me at the airport,' she said.
Wilson, for his part, released the police report himself and issued a statement criticizing Mace.
'Disrespecting the men and women who keep our airports safe is unacceptable,' he said.
He also said that Mace's 'reckless and disrespectful behavior' is now a pattern.
'I'm calling on Nancy Mace to apologize for her behavior immediately. These agents and officers are the ones who actually ''hold the line'' each day to keep us safe and she should apologize and offer no excuse. But it's clear, she only cares about herself.'
Cameron Morabito, Mace's director of operations, responded to the claims in a statement to Wired.
'Apparently, simply arriving at an airport now makes for a worthy headline. We are forced to take the Congresswoman's safety extremely seriously,' Morabito said.
'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.'
Mace posted video of herself arriving at the airport in an attempt to clear her name, showing that she had no confrontation with security

The Daily Mail has reached out to a spokesperson for Congresswoman Mace for comment.
During her four and a half years in office, Mace, 47, established herself from the pack of Republican women due to her many antics in Congress.
At first, she appeared to be a moderate, eager to work on bipartisan work. Now she's campaigning on how she ruffles feathers on both sides of the aisle.
Mace 'has drawn the ire of both Democrats and members of her own party,' a narrator in one of her new gubernatorial TV commercials obtained by the Daily Mail says.
'She has a way of getting under their skin.'
She also had some new proposals: The Republican unveiled a five-year plan to eliminate state income taxes. 'Other states, like Florida, Tennessee, Texas, have zero state income tax,' she said.
Mace also announced initiatives to expand school choice, vocational education and floated policies that could help the state's authorities better cooperate with ICE to accelerate deportations.
She's proved to be a conservative rabble-rouser since her election to Congress in 2021.

Mace was one of eight GOP lawmakers to vote to remove former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and has crusaded through Capitol Hill vowing to protect women in the name of restricting transgender rights.
Mace has been increasingly at odds with the trans community in recent years.
She has even been confronted by members of the trans community at her town halls and political events.
In February, Mace spoke on the House floor for an hour about her ex-fiancé whom she stunningly accused of being involved in sex crimes.
State police in South Carolina later opened an investigation into Mace's stunning claims that she uncovered a rape and sex trafficking ring after sifting through digital information on her ex-fiance's phone.
Mace's ex-fiancé has denied the allegations.
