“Bring it on”: Mace fires back as GOP colleague weighs expulsion resolution against her

A simmering feud between two House Republicans escalated sharply on Monday after reports emerged that Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) is considering pushing to expel Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Mace wasted no time hitting back with a string of explosive accusations of her own.

Political outlet NOTUS, citing a source familiar with the matter, reported that Mills is weighing an expulsion resolution against Mace, pointing to her profanity-laced confrontation with security officers at Charleston International Airport in October as one of several incidents driving the effort. Mace is currently running for governor of South Carolina.

Responding on X, Mace accused her fellow Republican of stolen valor, improperly profiting from federal contracts and a range of other misconduct, framing his move against her as a preemptive strike.
“He is only coming after me because he knows he’s next,” she wrote.

In a separate post, she called Mills “the worst kind of pond scum in Congress” and directly appealed to House Speaker Mike Johnson, asking: “Why are we continuing to protect this monster?” She also accused Mills of “going after the one woman who exposed him” and referenced her failed attempt last year to censure him and strip him of his Foreign Affairs and Armed Services committee assignments.

“Cory Mills is a dangerous man who has no business being in Congress,” Mace wrote, before closing with a defiant: “Bring it on. “Mills has not publicly responded to Mace’s remarks. He has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since November over allegations of sexual misconduct, dating violence and campaign finance violations, all of which he has denied.

Several Democrats have also called for his removal, though expulsion requires a two-thirds majority vote. Mace herself is under a separate Ethics Committee investigation over accusations that she improperly collected housing reimbursements meant for members of Congress. Her office said she is “not taking seriously” the complaint filed by the Office of Congressional Conduct.

The back-and-forth comes as the Ethics Committee released a list of 28 current and former lawmakers under investigation for sexual misconduct. The disclosure has already claimed several political casualties. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) resigned from Congress last week and paused his gubernatorial campaign amid misconduct allegations he denies.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) also announced his departure after publicly acknowledging a sexual relationship with a former staffer who later died by suicide. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) faces a potential House vote this week after an Ethics panel found her guilty on 25 charges related to stolen federal relief funds.

She has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty in a related federal criminal case. Even disgraced former Rep. George Santos weighed in on the Mace situation, suggesting she should be “terrified” if an expulsion vote actually reached the House floor.
