佛罗里达州共和党众议员科里·米尔斯周一对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员南希·麦卡锡提出的将他免职的举动是政治噱头，此前米尔斯因家暴指控和其他不当行为指控面临被罢免的风险。
“这是政治闹剧，”周一在国会山时，米尔斯在谈到麦卡锡的罢免决议时说道，“……她本质上是在说自己既是法官、陪审员，又是行刑者。”
麦卡锡周一提出了一项驱逐决议，援引了众议院道德委员会对米尔斯的调查。这是自去年有关米尔斯对前恋爱对象存在掠夺性行为的报道传开以来，一系列针对他的指控的最新进展。
米尔斯否认有任何不当行为，也未受到任何刑事指控，尽管他已被移交至众议院道德委员会接受调查——该委员会负责审查涉嫌违反国会行为准则的议员。

尽管该委员会可以将案件移交至司法部，但委员会的调查本身并不意味着存在不当行为。
周一，米尔斯在美国国会山对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，如果议员们在众议院道德委员会得出任何结论之前就推动驱逐他，那么他们也必须考虑驱逐麦卡锡——后者正因住宿报销索赔问题接受道德审查。
“这真的很有意思，来自麦卡锡女士这样的人。如果这就是驱逐议员的先例，那么她自己也应受这一先例约束，”米尔斯说道。
“她称‘只要你接受道德调查’——等等——麦卡锡女士正因涉嫌将自己的房子当作爱彼迎民宿出租、动用纳税人资金而接受道德调查，”米尔斯说道。
米尔斯面临2025年2月一起事件中的家暴指控，以及同年7月的另一桩敲诈案指控，据称他威胁要泄露一名恋爱对象的露骨照片。
米尔斯的此番表态正值多名议员因自身涉嫌不当行为辞职之际，此时议员行为正受到更严格的审查。
最引人注目的是，加利福尼亚州民主党众议员埃里克·斯沃韦尔先是放弃了加州州长竞选，随后于本月早些时候辞职，此前有多名女性指控他存在性虐待、胁迫和强奸行为。
几天后，德克萨斯州共和党众议员托尼·冈萨雷斯宣布计划卸任，此前数月来，公众对他与一名自杀身亡的女助手发生亲密关系的爆料感到愤怒。

与冈萨雷斯和斯沃韦尔不同，米尔斯指出，除国会内部调查外，目前没有针对他的其他调查。
“关键是，目前没有任何针对我的刑事或民事调查处于进行状态，”米尔斯说道。
即便没有联邦调查，麦卡锡仍辩称“针对米尔斯的证据确凿”。
“殴打女性并让她们作伪证，网络跟踪女性……任何投票支持留任他的议员，都是在投票保护一名殴打女性者和骗子。他应当立即被驱逐，”麦卡锡在一份新闻稿中说道。
米尔斯认为，麦卡锡提出的驱逐他的动议试图为罢免现任国会议员设定新的标准——他认为这一标准过于严苛。
“出于政治闹剧和筹款目的提出这项动议是一回事，将其提交投票则是另一回事。她正在开创一个非常危险的先例。”

麦卡锡的决议很可能将于本周晚些时候提交全院审议。

Cory Mills says Mace expulsion push could drag House into dangerous new territory
Mills argues that if ethics probes are grounds for expulsion, Mace should face the same standard herself

Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., blasted an effort to remove him from office over domestic abuse allegations and other misconduct claims, telling Fox News Digital on Monday that Rep. Nancy Mace’s, R-S.C., push is a political stunt.
“This is political theatrics,” Mills said of Mace’s resolution while at the Capitol on Monday. “… She’s essentially saying she’s judge, juror and executioner.”
Mace introduced an expulsion resolution on Monday, citing a House Ethics Committee probe of Mills. It’s the latest development in a series of allegations that have clung to Mills since reports began circulating last year of alleged predatory behavior towards former romantic partners.
Mills has denied wrongdoing and hasn’t been charged with any crimes, although he has been referred for investigation to the House Ethics Committee, the body charged with scrutinizing lawmakers suspected of breaking congressional rules of conduct.

Although the committee can refer a matter to the Department of Justice (DOJ), an investigation by the committee does not implicate wrongdoing on its own.
Mills told Fox News Digital on Monday at the U.S. Capitol that if lawmakers move to expel him before the House Ethics Committee reaches any conclusion, they would also have to consider expelling Mace, who is herself under ethics review over lodging reimbursement claims.
“This is really interesting, coming from someone like Ms. Mace. If this is the precedent for expulsion, then she herself would be under that same precedent,” Mills said.
“She’s saying as ‘long as you’re under an ethics investigation’ — oh but wait — Ms. Mace is under an ethics investigation for allegedly renting her own home to herself as an Airbnb, utilizing taxpayer funding,” Mills said.
Mills faces allegations of domestic abuse from an incident in February 2025 and a separate case of blackmail from July that same year, where he allegedly threatened to release explicit images of a romantic partner.
Mills’ comments come amid a handful of other lawmakers resigning over alleged misconduct of their own and a moment of heightened scrutiny on lawmaker conduct.
Most notably, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., first abandoned a California gubernatorial bid and then resigned his seat earlier this month when several women accused him of sexual abuse, coercion and rape.
Days later, Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, announced plans to leave office after months of public outrage over revelations about an intimate relationship with a staffer who had committed suicide by setting herself on fire.

Unlike Gonzales and Swalwell, Mills noted that he is currently not under investigation outside of Congress.
“The bottom line is there is absolutely no criminal or civil investigation that’s even open about me,” Mills said.
Even in the absence of a federal probe, Mace argued that the “evidence against Mills is overwhelming.”
“Beating women and telling them to lie about it, cyberstalking women … Any Member who votes to keep him here is voting to protect a woman beater and a fraud. He needs to be expelled immediately,” Mace said in a press release.
Mills believes Mace’s motion to expel him is an attempt to set a new bar for removing sitting members of Congress — one that he believes goes too far.
“It’s one thing to introduce it for political theatrics and fundraising. It’s another to notice it for a vote. She’s setting a very dangerous precedent.”

Mace’s resolution will likely hit the floor for consideration later this week.
