The four Republicans who voted with Democrats against reprimanding Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) over comments about Charlie Kirk are getting excoriated by the online right — with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who prompted the vote on the Omar censure, leading the charge against Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) in particular.
The four — Reps. Mike Flood (R-Neb.), Jeff Hurd (Colo.), Tom McClintock (Calif.) and Mills — are defending themselves from the attacks, putting out videos and statements making their case. Flood also referred Omar for further investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
And Mills confronted Mace directly. Mace accused Mills of sending her a “threatening message” Wednesday night. According to a copy of the message seen by The Hill, Mills talked about highlighting Mace’s previous statements criticizing President Trump for Jan. 6 if she is going to put out messages about him.
“You want to put me out for not wanting to penalize someone for 1A? Why don’t we show your words blaming Trump for J6?” Mills said in the message. “It was nothing to do with you or against you.” Mace responded: “Not really helping the allegations of you threatening women, are you…” She was referring to an ex-girlfriend of Mills alleging to police that he threatened to release nude images of her after they broke up — which Mills has denied.
