Fellow Republican Moves To Censure Rep. Cory Mills, Tensions Rise Amid Alleged ‘Backroom Deal’
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is planning to force a censure vote of a fellow House Republican on Wednesday.
“NANCY MACE will move to censure CORY MILLS today,” Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman reports.

Mace accused the Florida Republican of stolen valor Tuesday night.
“Here is purported Stolen Valor @CoryMillsFL – he should be kicked off the House Armed Services committee for this and more,” Mace said.
“A disgrace to those who served and to those who gave it all. I spoke to the General. He never saw, read or signed the documents for his Bronze Star,” she continued.

Fox News has more:
Mace is planning to introduce the censure as a privileged resolution, Fox News Digital is told, meaning House GOP leaders will have two legislative days — by the end of session on Friday — to hold a chamber-wide vote on the measure.
Her resolution is likely to come up during the House’s only vote series of the day on Wednesday, which is scheduled for the 8 p.m. hour.
House Democrats had threatened to pursue a retaliatory censure against Mills Tuesday evening in response to Republicans trying to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-V.I., the Virgin Islands’ nonvoting representative in the House, over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Plaskett censure failed after three House Republicans voted “no” and three more voted “present,” however, along with every Democrat rejecting the measure. Democrats did not appear to pursue the censure against Mills after that.
Mace had accused Mills of participating in a “backroom deal” at the time to avoid a censure, adding, “I have the General who ‘recommended’ him for the Bronze Star on record saying he never wrote it, never read it and never personally signed it.”
“I was wondering if the Speaker of the House of Representatives can explain why leadership on both sides, both Democrat and Republican, are cutting backend deals to cover up public corruption in the House of Representatives for both Republican and Democrat members of Congress,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said on the House floor.
“The Plaskett censure failed because house leadership exchanged that censure failure for the withdrawal of a vote to censure and refer Cory Mills to house ethics for investigation. The swamp protects itself,” Luna wrote on X.

The Hill shared further info:
Mills has been at the center of numerous personal controversies this year. Most recently, a Florida county judge granted a restraining order an ex-girlfriend requested against Mills. The woman had accused him of harassing and threatening to release intimate photos of her after their breakup earlier this year. Mills denied some of her accusations.
Democrats have unveiled three different efforts to censure Mills in recent months, but each was a retaliatory threat in response to a Republican attempt to censure a Democrat. The censures of those Democrats failed, so Democrats declined to force votes on censuring Mills.
Republican anger over that dynamic boiled over after the chamber Tuesday night rejected a resolution to censure Democratic Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) for texting with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing.
Three Republicans voted with all Democrats against the measure, and three other Republicans voted present, leading the measure to fail 209-214-3.
