GOP Rep. Cory Mills hit with a restraining order from ex-girlfriend

[j brown's body]

"A Florida judge issued a restraining order Tuesday against Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida for "protection against dating violence" after his ex-girlfriend accused him of threatening and harassing her. In a petition filed in August, Lindsey Langston alleged that after they broke up, Mills threatened to blackmail her using nude images and videos and to physically harm anyone she dated. “Cory continued to message me on Instagram accounts I run after blocking him and asking him to not contact me. The messages progressively got more threatening over time,” wrote Langston, a Republican state committeewoman and Miss United States 2024. Tuesday's restraining order, issued by state Circuit Judge Fred Koberlein Jr. in Columbia County, prohibits Mills from acts of violence against Langston and bars him from contacting her until Jan. 1. Mills cannot “directly refer to Petitioner on social media, including but not limited to, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, or any other social media platform,” the order says.

Koberlein wrote that Mills also claimed during the hearing that he was only referring to the possibility of sending out nonsexual videos of Langston and said he had deleted any intimate videos of her. Koberlein wrote that he doubted the veracity of Mills' testimony. "Even had the Respondent’s testimony been truthful, his response is irrelevant because there was no evidence presented suggesting the Petitioner knew the Respondent no longer had possession of their intimate videos," Koberlein wrote.

It's not the first time Mills, who has represented Florida’s 7th Congressional District since January 2023, has faced legal trouble this year. ...Police opened an investigation in February over a report of an alleged assault at an apartment building on the same block as the property where Mills faces eviction. Mills’ office said he “vehemently” denied any wrongdoing, and a police spokesperson said at the time that Mills was not arrested and that no charges had been filed."

Its okay because he's "tough on crime."

She's lying. They always lie. Got into a beef with her boyfriend and wants to hurt him. Or maybe George Soros put her up to this. Gettin' so sick n tired of woman accusin' white conservative men of something or other just to score points. Besides, how did he get nude photos of her? Something off about this woman, maybe she needs to learn to keep her panties on and her legs locked.

That is one of those admissions that I'm sure he thought at the time would be a great defense. But 1) it isn't believable and in fact indicates he's guilty, and 2) even if he were telling the truth it would still be harassment and grounds for a restraining order.

Well, it was so nice to hear that weasel Mike Johnson doesn’t think this whole business with Cory Mills is serious. WTF? Just how morally bankrupt do Republicans have to be in order to sweep it all under the rug as nothing serious?

It was also precious to see my hypocritical family values U.S. Representative Zach Nunn stand there behind Johnson without expression. This guy puts his family in every single television ad and brags about his family values nonstop. Guess he’s got nothing to say about accusations concerning a colleague’s violence towards women where a restraining order was sought and granted. These people… smh.

Trump Suggests Domestic Violence Is A ‘Much Lesser’ Crime

Trump made the comment while alleging domestic violence reports were falsely inflating crime statistics in Washington, D.C.

www.forbes.com

“If a man has a little fight with the wife, they’ll say this was a crime, see? So now I can’t claim 100%,”

"Trump said “much lesser things, things that take place in the home” were unfairly inflating Washington, D.C. crime statistics."

What a moron. He deserves to get removed from office and criminally charged for his harassment/threats.

That's almost exactly what the victim's lawyer said:


“I hope to see both parties come together and excuse Mr. Mills from public office. This is not a Republican or a Democrat issue,” Frank said in a press conference from her law office on Wednesday, with Langston by her side.

<skip>

Asked about the possibility of Mills facing criminal charges in Florida, Frank said: “There’s certainly the evidence there to pursue criminal charges. I would suspect that this isn’t the last time you’re going to hear about this.”

Judge finds anti-trans Republican Florida Congressman Cory Mills to be a danger to women

Well, yeah. They hate trans women and try to sacrifice them for stripping cis women of the right to control their own bodies.

Plus, they seem a little too preoccupied with young women/girls.

This is perfectly fine according to MAGas.

Trump even said that these sort of things shouldn’t count as a crime.

"Let's talk about things that are really serious"

Sounds like Trump's attitude regarding domestic violence:

While President Donald Trump touted the success of his crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., on Monday, he suggested that he believed that the "lesser" crime of domestic violence should not be counted in crime statistics.

<skip>

"And much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say 'this was a crime, see,' so now I can't claim 100%," Trump said.

Trump questions whether 'lesser' crimes such as domestic violence should count toward DC crime statistics

Trump said "things that take place in the home" prevent crime from going down.
