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.

Re: Post 15... LoL funny.. love it.. 👍
So many lies packed into one sentence.
My journalism teacher in High School would Fail me if I wrote that... And I wouldn't blame her. Of course, I was in High School in the 1970s...
“He owes Speaker Pelosi an apology,” Swalwell added.
Swalwell ought to put that in writing, so Mills can tear it in half on national TV ☺
Thousands can die from fentanyl, more thousands can be sex-traffiked, trespassers into the Capitol can be treated like Islamic terrorists, but God forbid you make a joke about Paul Pelosi. HuffPo, go F yourself.
I like this Mills guy already!
The thing about humor is that it only works if there’s some truth embedded in it. There isn’t any here.
I hope Mills looks into the political issues he speaks and votes about a little more than he looked into this personal attack.
Cory Mills owes you a little smashmouth, CCP Boy.
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.Why would you-- Scalise and Paul weren't running around in their underwear w/ their attackers and didn't call 911 saying their attackers were a friend.
