A police investigation found that US Representative Nancy Mace escalated a minor miscommunication at Charleston's airport on October 30th into a public confrontation. The investigation, prompted by an incident involving a delay in meeting her escort due to a vehicle color discrepancy, concluded that Mace berated airport staff with profanity and insults. Airport police chief James Woods acknowledged some responsibility for the initial miscommunication but stated Mace's behavior escalated the situation. Employees described Mace's behavior as rude and unbecoming of a congresswoman. Mace's office claims the report exonerates her, while the report also indicates a previous incident involving Mace and airport staff earlier in the year.
