She said current and former airport employees told her about the TSA surveillance, and she called on more whistleblowers to come forward.
“This appears to be yet another example of the weaponization of government agencies against a conservative,” the South Carolina Republican said in a statement. “If these allegations are true, it represents a disturbing abuse of power and a clear case of political retaliation. No American — let alone a sitting Member of Congress — should be subjected to this kind of targeted harassment.”
She said she was subjected to surveillance every time she was at the Charleston airport, with TSA officials allegedly trying to block her from using the crew-only entrance. She claimed using the entrance is “standard operating procedure for all members of Congress.”
The Washington Times reached out to the TSA for comment.
Ms. Mace reportedly rebuked police and TSA agents at a security checkpoint last month at Charleston International Airport.
She took to social media, saying, “If this turns out to be the weaponization of government officials and law enforcement agents against a sitting member of Congress — HEADS NEED TO ROLL!!!”
