Fasten your seatbelts, Nancy Mace is in airport mode
Congresswoman and conspiracy theorist Nancy Mace’s feud with the Charleston airport has now lasted longer than most layovers, stretching into a third week. The South Carolina congresswoman claimed she’s the victim of a grand surveillance plot after a random TSA screening.
But on Tuesday, she posted a new deranged conspiracy theory to her congressional website, claiming that she was “subjected to inappropriate surveillance and targeting by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Charleston International Airport security personnel (CHS)” and called for staff at the airport “to come forward with information” about her supposed mistreatment.
“I was allegedly ‘randomly selected’ by TSA and the Charleston Airport for extra surveillance. What are the odds? It gets better—I’ve been told I’m the ONLY elected official who got this special treatment. Totally random, I’m sure,” Mace wrote in a post on X late Tuesday night, along with an image of herself with the text “ESTABLISHMENT ENEMY #1” superimposed over it.
“To whoever greenlit this amateur-hour intimidation tactic: Did you think I’d be scared? Or flattered? Go ahead and make my day. Waste your time, waste taxpayer money, waste whatever credibility you had left,” she continued. “HOLD THE LINE.”
Three weeks in, Mace has threatened lawsuits, posted conspiracy screeds, and turned a routine pat-down into performance art. Her own party looks exhausted, watching her spiral through baggage claim while insisting the deep state is hiding in the terminal.
