Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida was one of the four GOP lawmakers to block the censure of Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. Although Mills publicly argued that he was simply voting to protect Omar’s First Amendment rights, reports indicate that there may have been a deeper motive.
Following Charlie Kirk’s horrific assassination, Omar let out a slew of insensitive comments that sparked outrage among conservatives. As a result, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina introduced a resolution to censure Omar, which would formally condemn the Democrat and strip her of her committee assignments.
‘Ilhan Omar mocked the cold-blooded assassination of an innocent American husband and father.’
Mace’s resolution narrowly failed 214-213 in a procedural vote Wednesday night, with Mills casting the deciding vote.
