House GOP Plays âWhoâs More Embarrassing?â Censure Edition
KEY POINTS
- â˘House Democrats revived a censure measure against Rep. Cory Mills Tuesday to counter a Republican effort targeting Del. Stacey Plaskett.
- â˘Mills faces allegations of domestic abuse, stolen valor, and financial misconduct, all of which he denies, fueling political chess moves.
- â˘Republicans narrowly advanced a resolution to censure Plaskett over her texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 hearing.
- â˘Rep. Nancy Mace signaled support for Millsâ censure, raising GOPâs internal majority concerns before an expected vote by Thursday.
In Washingtonâs latest episode of Congressional Hot Potato, Democrats pelt Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) with a five-page censure bomb to dodge a GOP carpet-bomb aiming at Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.), who allegedly chit-chatted with Jeffrey Epstein mid-2019 hearing like texting a weird coworker. With Mills accused of stolen valor, domestic abuse (which he denies), and financial shenanigansâplus Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace confused whether itâs 'stolen valor or assault or restraining order' on the menuâthe House is basically a reality TV drama with a 219-214 GOP edge and a suspense episode promised Tuesday night. Millsâs silence is louder than an empty podium at a press brief.

Congress canât decide if itâs prosecuting text messages with Epstein or stolen valor allegations first. Meanwhile, Cory Mills is the Houseâs answer to âMystery of the Month.â
If Congress were a high school, Cory Mills just got voted most likely to be awkwardly censured by both parties for every drama imaginable.
Stacey Plaskett texting Epstein during a hearing is peak 2025. Meanwhile, Cory Millsâ fantasy league of allegations keeps expanding faster than GOP excuses.
