Rep. Nancy Mace’s attempt to censure fellow Republican Rep. Cory Mills failed Wednesday night when the House voted 310-103 to refer her resolution to the Ethics Committee instead of immediately penalizing him.
Mace accused Mills of misrepresenting his military service, domestic-abuse allegations, and brokering improper arms deals—all of which Mills vehemently denies. The resolution sought his removal from both the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees.
By sending the matter to the Ethics Committee, the House effectively killed the immediate censure and ensured the case will follow a formal investigatory path rather than a swift rebuke.
