Tensions are on the rise in the Republican Party. It’s about to get ugly.
And this GOP lawmaker is making a push to kick a fellow Republican out of Congress.
Rep. Nancy Mace is charging straight into the heart of the Washington with a no-holds-barred resolution to boot Rep. Cory Mills out of the House of Representatives once and for all.
The South Carolina Republican dropped the expulsion bomb on Monday, citing a mountain of claims against the Florida lawmaker that include domestic violence, s*xual misconduct, stolen valor, and cashing in on federal contracts while serving in Congress.
Mills has been squirming under a House Ethics Committee spotlight since November, ever since Mace’s first push to censure him hit a brick wall and the whole ugly package of accusations got handed off to the ethics watchdogs.
“The swamp has protected Cory Mills for far too long and we are done letting it slide,” Mace stated.
“We tried to censure him and strip him from his committee assignments. Both parties blocked it, but we are not backing down.”
Mace insists the case against Mills is ironclad, even as the ethics panel drags its feet on delivering a report.
The congresswoman claimed that Mills is guilty of “beating women and telling them to lie about it, cyberstalking women, lying about his military service, and profiting off his seat.”
“Any Member who votes to keep him here is voting to protect a woman beater and a fraud.”
“He needs to be expelled immediately.”
This latest showdown lands just days after two former lawmakers—Tony Gonzales of Texas and Eric Swalwell of California—walked away from their seats amid their own s*xual misconduct scandals, leaving the public wondering how many more rotten apples are hiding in the barrel.
Kicking Mills out would require a two-thirds majority vote in the House, a tall order in a chamber already split by razor-thin margins and backroom horse-trading.
Mills pushed back hard when cornered by reporters, framing the whole fight as a dangerous shortcut around basic fairness.
“I personally think that you should allow due process,” Mills said, per The Hill.
“The precedence that she’s setting right now is that you only have to be investigated, and she’s under investigation.”
“So I think that, by her own admission, she’s kind of also saying that she should be expelled as well.”
For her part, Mace has faced her own ethics headache since last year, with investigators digging into claims she improperly pocketed reimbursements for costs pertaining to lodging.
Americans are watching, and they’re done with the theater. They want a Congress that lives up to the oath, not one that laughs in their faces while the scandals pile up.
