"CNN anchorwoman Kaitlan Collins recently asked Mace about the October 30 incident, in which a miscommunication about the color of her vehicle led airport security workers to miss meeting and escorting her through expedited security. A police report of the incident said that Mace called police "f**king idiots" and "f**king incompetent"; proclaimed that she is a "f**king representative"; and told a TSA supervisor, 'I'm sick of your s**t.... You guys are always f**king late and this is f**king ridiculous.""
"I've never called a cop an idiot. That is a remarkably false statement. I am absolutely saying that that report was falsified. 100% fictitious, falsified. I have never called someone an idiot. That is shocking to me. I use vulgar language frequently. The president does. I do express my frustration. I do take responsibility for my words, I always have."
Nancy Mace, a Republican congresswoman running for South Carolina governor, was involved in an October 30 airport incident after a miscommunication about her vehicle's color caused security to miss escorting her. A police report quoted her using profane insults toward police and a TSA supervisor, including calling officers "f**king idiots" and saying the situation was "f**king ridiculous." Mace publicly denied calling a cop an idiot and asserted the report was falsified, while acknowledging that she uses vulgar language frequently and expressing that she viewed the episode as an effective political hit job.
