"Meet Cory Mills, a Republican congressman representing Florida. He is rabidly anti-abortion, incredibly anti-immigration, and obsequiously pro-Trump. Earlier this year, perhaps in a desperate bid to get Dear Leader to notice him, he introduced a bill, dubbed the DON-ument Act, which would make the wall on the US-Mexico border a national monument. In the great tradition of Republican congressmen from Florida (hello, Matt Gaetz!), it turns out Mills may also be a misogynistic creep."
"On Tuesday, a Florida judge granted a protective order against Mills at the request of his former girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, the reigning Miss United States. Langston, who is 19 years younger than 45-year-old Mills, told authorities she started a romantic relationship with the lawmaker in 2021, when Mills was still married but reportedly separated from his wife. According to Langston, after the breakup, Mills threatened to release nude images of her and harm any future boyfriends."
"The congressman has called the allegations false and hasn't been charged with a crime, but, according to the New York Times, the judge said he did not find Mills' testimony concerning the intimate videos to be truthful and granted an order restricting Mills from going within 500 feet of his ex's residence or referring to her on social media. The court found that Langston has reasonable cause to believe she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence."
Cory Mills is a Republican congressman from Florida who holds strongly anti-abortion and anti-immigration views and is supportive of Donald Trump. Earlier this year he introduced the DON-ument Act to designate the US-Mexico border wall as a national monument. A Florida judge granted a protective order at the request of his former girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, Miss United States, after she alleged a relationship beginning in 2021 when Mills was married and later threats to release nude images and harm future boyfriends. Mills denies the allegations and has not been charged with a crime. The judge found his testimony about intimate videos untruthful and barred him from approaching or referencing Langston on social media. Authorities separately investigated an alleged assault of another woman, Sarah Raviani, with police observing bruises on her arm.
