House Republicans are facing internal turmoil as members turn on each other with expulsion resolutions, raising questions about ethical standards and party unity. The conflict centers on Representative Cory Mills, who has drafted a resolution to expel Representative Nancy Mace from Congress following her attempt to expel him and three other lawmakers last week.
A source familiar with the matter, speaking to NOTUS, revealed that Mills’ resolution highlights an incident at Charleston International Airport in South Carolina last year. During the incident, Mace allegedly yelled at TSA agents and security officers, calling them “fucking incompetent.” The resolution may also include additional scandals involving Mace, who is already under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
Mace’s own ethics issues include allegations that she improperly collected $12,000 in congressional reimbursement funds and directed her staff to purchase alcohol late at night, clean her home, and promote her on forums as one of the “hottest women in Congress.”
In response to Mills’ resolution, Mace took to X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“He lied about his military service, has been accused of beating women, has a restraining order against him, and has allegedly been stuffing his own pockets with federal contracts while sitting in Congress. As a survivor, I will always stand up and right the wrongs of others. He is only coming after me because he knows he’s next.”
Last week, Mace also targeted Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell and Republican Representative Tony Gonzalez with expulsion resolutions. Gonzalez resigned rather than face a vote, while Swalwell faced allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. The fourth target was Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who now faces an expulsion vote this week over allegations of misusing FEMA funds.
For now, the infighting within the Republican caucus threatens their already narrow control of the House, overshadowing broader ethical concerns with petty disputes.
