"That outraged some Republicans, who accused leadership in both parties of cutting a "backroom deal" to rescue both Plaskett and Mills. The details: Mace's censure measure will touch on the wide array of allegations against Mills, including domestic abuse, stolen valor and financial misconduct, all of which he denies. It would strip him of both his committee assignments, kicking him off the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees, a source said."
"Flashback: Mace threatened to censure Mills in September after he voted against her resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for comments she made about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Mills said he provided the decisive vote against censoring Omar on First Amendment grounds. "At the end of the day, I'm a constitutionalist," Mills wrote on X. In October, a Florida judge granted a protective order against Mills after a former girlfriend accused him of threatening to release sexually explicit photos and videos of her."
Democrats triggered a Tuesday vote to censure Mills and remove him from the Armed Services Committee but withdrew it after a GOP measure to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett failed narrowly. Some Republicans accused leadership in both parties of cutting a "backroom deal" to rescue Plaskett and Mills. Mace's censure would target allegations against Mills — domestic abuse, stolen valor and financial misconduct — which he denies, and would strip him of Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committee assignments. A Florida judge granted a protective order after a former girlfriend accused Mills of threatening to release explicit photos and videos. Several Republicans urged disciplinary action or that Mills not seek reelection.
