MAGA lady lawmakers are coming for GOP Rep steeped in scandal

A number of MAGA women have absolutely had it with Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida and his scandalous ways.

Mills was just hit with a restraining order last month from a former girlfriend, Lindsay Langston, who’d accused him of threatening to publicize and circulate veritable “revenge porn” featuring her.

“[T]he judge [presiding over the case] said the evidence supported Langston’s assertion that Mills had caused her ‘substantial emotional distress’ and that Mills offered ‘no credible rebuttal’ to her testimony,” according to Politico.

“He found that Langston has a ‘reasonable cause to believe she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence’ without the restraining order being put in place,” Politico’s reporting continued.

After news of his restraining order broke, some congressional Republicans sought to censure Mills.

In fact, The Hill notes it was Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, Anna Paulina Luna, and Kat Cammack, “who were instrumental” this week “in pushing” a censure vote.

But the censure vote never happened after GOP leadership made a deal with Democrat leadership, saying they’d avoid censuring Democrat Rep. Stacey Plaskett for texting with deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2019 if Democrats would abstain from censuring Mills.

This deal infuriated Luna.

“I was wondering if the Speaker of the House of Representatives can explain why leadership on both sides, both Democrat and Republican, are cutting back-end deals to cover up public corruption in the House of Representatives from both Republican and Democrat members of Congress,” she asked on the House floor Tuesday.

The following day, Mace introduced a censure resolution against Mills, prompting a battle of words between the two Republicans.

“I will not stand by while women risk everything to come forward with credible allegations of abuse and threats,” Mace said in a statement. “I will not stay silent while a Member of Congress may be lining his pockets through federal contracts. And I will not look the other way while allegations of stolen valor, a slap in the face to every veteran who earned their service and sacrifice, goes unchecked.”

“Cory Mills’ alleged conduct makes him unfit to serve on any committee responsible for our national security. And as a survivor, these allegations involving women strike at a place I know too well, and I refuse to ignore them or let this institution minimize them,” she added.

Mills ultimately won the censure battle.

“Moments later, Mills moved to refer the censure measure to the Ethics Committee. The House agreed in a 310–103 vote—sidestepping a direct rebuke while ensuring the allegations against Mills remain under investigation,” according to The Daily Beast.

Unpleased by the decision, Mace took to social media to double down on her attacks against Mills not only for the restraining order, but also the other allegations he faces — stolen valor, domestic abuse, etc.

Asked on Thursday about the failed censure vote, Cammack, for her part, reportedly told a local Florida TV station that “wrong is wrong.”

“Principles are not partisan,” she continued. “This is a real reality for countless women around the country. And I would not be doing my job in fighting for my constituents if I did not stand by her [Mills’ victim] because I am her voice.”

When Mills, meanwhile, was asked why all his female colleagues were upset with him, he suggested it was all political.

“Well, I think that if you look at Nancy Mace’s race for governor, that’ll tell you exactly what that motivation is,” he said.
