GOP Lawmaker Cory Mills Challenges Kamala Harris Tweet Amidst Trump Insurrection Accusations

At a recent House Republican press briefing aimed at endorsing a resolution declaring that former President Donald Trump did not incite an insurrection, Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) took the opportunity to call out then-Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) for her role in promoting a bail fund during the tumultuous events of 2020.

Mills began by expressing his gratitude and proceeded to make a series of pointed statements, addressing what he perceived as a double standard in assessing actions that could be construed as inciting violence. The Florida lawmaker drew attention to Kamala Harris's fundraising efforts for a bail fund, suggesting that she was supporting individuals involved in destructive activities during the 2020 unrest.

"Let's talk about inciting violence and promoting an insurrection," Mills asserted. He urged a closer examination of the cities that experienced significant civil unrest, such as Minneapolis, Seattle, New York, and Baltimore. Mills questioned the role of figures like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi, suggesting that their statements could be interpreted as encouraging confrontational behavior and widespread protests.

In contrast, Mills defended President Trump's statements, emphasizing the context of a disputed election. He quoted Trump's words, emphasizing that they urged supporters to "go home with love and in peace" and argued that the media and the left have distorted the narrative to portray the events of January 6, 2021, as an insurrection.

Mills rejected the characterization of the events as an insurrection, pointing out the recent disruption of federal legislative processes by protesters, questioning whether those incidents were labeled similarly. He emphasized that the controversy surrounding Trump was not about policing but rather about politics, election interference, and attempts to discredit him as a candidate.

The Republican lawmaker accused various entities, including the media, of engaging in what he termed "lawfare" to undermine Trump's presidency. He cited efforts to attack Trump's family, businesses, and property valuations as part of a broader strategy to disqualify him from future elections.

Mills concluded his remarks by asserting the unwavering support of the United States House of Representatives for President Trump. He pledged to combat what he viewed as lies perpetuated by the media and the left, emphasizing the need to unequivocally affirm that Trump did not incite violence or lead an insurrection.

In a show of solidarity, Mills expressed his honor in standing alongside fellow representatives, including Matt Gaetz and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, to dispel what he deemed as false narratives surrounding Trump's actions on January 6, 2021. The press briefing highlighted the ongoing political divide over the events of that day and the contrasting interpretations of political statements made by key figures.
