Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina said Wednesday she has retained legal counsel and is preparing to file a lawsuit against American Airlines, the Charleston International Airport and several individuals for allegedly creating “false and misleading incident reports.”
Mace’s lawsuit threat comes as she is feverishly defending herself against criticism from her Republican colleagues, who side-eyed her behavior recorded in a Charleston County Aviation Authority police report, which claims Mace directed an expletive-filled rant at officers.
