Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina lashed out against his home-state colleague Rep. Nancy Mace on Tuesday after she carried out a profanity-ridden tirade against Charleston International Airport security officials after they did not immediately provide her an escort through the building.
During the incident, Mace suggested that airport officials would not have treated Scott in the same manner, prompting his response.
“For reasons that are unclear, Rep. Nancy Mace invoked my name during and in the aftermath of her situation at the Charleston International Airport. So let me be clear on a number of points. I have used that airport since long before I was ever in Congress and every interaction I have had - without exception - has been positive,” Scott posted on Facebook Tuesday evening.
