MTG alleges GOP worked with Dems to avoid censure of Plaskett, Mills

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Wednesday alleged that Republican leaders worked with Democrats to stop the censure of Del. Stacy Plaskett, D-Virgin Islands, in exchange for stifling a similar effort to refer Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., to the Ethics Committee.

"3 Republicans crossed the aisle and voted with Democrats to stop the Plaskett censure resolution in a swap so that Democrats would not bring up the Cory Mills (R) censure resolution for alleged physical assaults and threatening to release pornography on an ex-girlfriend and ethics violations and questionable military record,"
she posted on X. "
You, the American people, should be outraged by this against both parties."

Plaskett faced censure over her communications with the late Jeffrey Epstein while Mills is under fire over allegations related to a past relationship and concerns over his military record.

"So why did both sides work together to stop both Plaskett and Mills censure resolutions last night in order to protect both Plaskett and Mills?" Greene asked. "Members of Congress like me never ever receive such protection and never will. Instead of working to pass legislation that supports policies you voted for, passing our appropriation bills, and solving real crisis issues like healthcare, Congress is trapped in the quicksand of the Swamp with no intention of getting out."
