Florida Duo Face Expulsion for Turning Congress Into Cash App, No Refunds
KEY POINTS
- •Florida representatives Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Cory Mills face possible expulsion for ethics violations this week.
- •Cherfilus-McCormick allegedly funneled $5 million in COVID relief funds into her campaign but denies wrongdoing.
- •Speaker Mike Johnson supports expelling Cherfilus-McCormick; Mills' expulsion is complicated by ongoing investigations and demands for due process.
In a political plot juicier than a daytime soap, Florida reps Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Cory Mills might be gift-wrapped for expulsion — the seventh and eighth ever to get the boot. Sheila’s greatest hit? Funnel $5 million from COVID relief directly into her campaign fund, like a telethon gone wild, and she’s still playing denial like it’s Grammy night. Meanwhile, Cory’s juggling financial misdeeds plus campaign finance and sexual misconduct allegations, all stoutly denied — apparently multitasking dysfunctionally is a talent. Speaker Mike Johnson gives a thumbs-up to Greg Steube’s plan to toss Sheila out, but gets squirrelly when asked about Cory. Hakeem Jeffries wants Mills to get due process, but not before speed-walking an investigation. The GOP’s ready to kick Sheila to the curb, while Mills’ allies plead, 'Not so fast, due process sucks when you’re guilty.'

(1 of 3)Congress: where $5 million COVID relief funds moonlight as campaign budgets and misconduct allegations come with denials so rehearsed they deserve an Emmy.
Sheila turned COVID relief into a campaign casino, Cory’s balancing scandals like a circus act, and Congress is arguing over who dies first. Drama!
Florida’s finest could be the next pair booted from the House, proving once again that Money + Denial = Congressional résumé.
