A brand new Republican member of Congress from Florida tweeted a shocking joke about the 2022 vicious home invasion beating of 82-year-old Paul Pelosi, husband of former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“Finally,” slammed new Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.), “one less gavel in the Pelosi house for Paul to fight with in his underwear.”
The ugly tweet was apparently Mills’ version of a celebration of the ascendency to House speaker of Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
Mills was also making fun of the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, who was beaten with a hammer in the middle of the night last October by a violent Republican sympathizer allegedly out to get a list of Democratic targets.
**SNIP**
GOP conspiracists at the time spread wild conspiracy theories and tried in vain to baselessly spin the violence as a a gay tryst gone wrong.
The message by Mills, who is an Army combat veteran, was retweeted by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who said he wanted the public to “see the indecency that makes up the House GOP.”
“He owes Speaker Pelosi an apology,” Swalwell added.
Mills flippantly responded to Swalwell: “You owe America an apology.”
Mills could not immediately be reached for comment.

Why would you say such a thing? Now I’m trying to get that image out of my head too!
Sorry (not really), but I have just about as much sympathy for a Pelousy as I do a Clinton. And it’s disgusting how the writer of this garbage article is trying to make the whole thing a Republican conspiracy thing!
Democrats are one EVIL bunch of scum!
Phooey...make the Dems and the Pelosi clan objects of ridicule.
Bet that joke would have flown on the old Johnny Carson Show.
They could go first and apologize for all the personal attacks on Trump and his family
I’ll have sympathy for Paul Pelosi when Democrats have sympathy for Steve Scalise, Rand Paul, and any other Republican who was attacked, who I’m not thinking of at the moment.
Well Paul Pelosi is apparently fine, which made that tweet hilarious! I won’t even try to imagine what it’s like going through life as humorless, too serious leftist just to die that way.
“Mills flippantly responded to Swalwell: “You owe America an apology.””
I like this guy Mills!
The only vicious attack on poor liddle Paulie came from his lover wielding the hammer. And that was a shatshow cover up after a gay lover’s spat.
I am surprised this Cory Mills person hasn’t been given the order to shut up and quit bringing it up from Nazi.
First, it wasn’t a “home invasion.” Paul referred to his attacker as a “friend.” I guess that’s Grindr etiquette for referring to your “date.”
So? The Pelosis aren’t royalty.
Interesting how “mean tweets” are standard fare for the liberal hate machine but if anyone on the more conservative side of life does it They go over the deep end about it. Seems not being able to look into their own mirror AND having absolutely NO sense of humor are part and parcel of the liberal psyche. “That there is funny, I don’t care who you are” is always TRUMPed by “the revolution IS the issue” in their minds. Just my 2.
If I was macarthy I’d have that gavel autoclaved - don’t know where it’s been.
now we know why they gave nan that huge gavel when she became speaker.
But they had nothing to say about the "shocking jokes" when people tweeted the wrong Trump died after the death of Ivana.
Paul got hammered on both ends that night.
The same people who tried to blame the attack on the GOP are outraged, outraged, that someone joked about it?
Well, there's an interesting take. But it's HP, so...
Merry Pap and Fuss!!! What a name for a good Demoncrat!
Papenfuss sounds like one of those names the Bee comes up with. What a load of Papenfuss! The Huffpost spews a lot of Papenfuss.
I see we were on the same page. :)
