"When asked on Thursday what happened by Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, Mace replied, "We have to take our security very seriously. If you're conservative, if you're well known, if you have fought the transgender community like I have, exponentially - in the wake of Charlie Kirk's public assassination - the death threats, the amount of political violence, the celebration of the killing of conservatives, is deeply disturbing.""
""I take these things seriously," Mace continued telling Bartiromo. "When there's a security breach, you know, again, one mistake can have devastating consequences. And ... I'm not a patsy. I just don't sit around. I'm not a doormat. And I want to fix the issues. When I see them: There are security breaches; let's fix it. Let's do the work that's necessary... I'm going to make sure that I'm safe, that my children are safe, m"
"Also, while Kirk's shooter reportedly had a transgender romantic partner, there's no direct evidence linking any sort of transgender ideology to the shooter's motivation. Mace also claimed that she has experienced numerous and repeated security breaches at the airport that compromise her safety. Though Bartiromo noted that Mace pledged to file a lawsuit against the airport, Mace demurred, not actually confirming her filing of any such lawsuit."
Nancy Mace blamed transgender people for a public meltdown at Charleston International Airport on October 30 and accused police of lying about the incident. A police report said she escalated a minor security miscommunication into a swear-filled spectacle that left airport employees upset. Mace told Fox News that heightened threats and political violence following Charlie Kirk's assassination justify heightened security concerns and framed transgender people in that context. There is no evidence that trans people are more violent, and no direct link between any transgender ideology and the shooter. Mace claimed repeated airport security breaches and signaled possible legal action without confirming a lawsuit.
