Glad PoS Cory Mills getting reamed in right-wing media but maybe the 3 "investigative reporters" @theblaze who flat out plagiarized my story could have worked in credit. Fucking lowlifes, they're as bad as Mills. @petergietl, @Jill_Savage, @HanneBlaze64. www.theblaze.com/news/stolen-...

I couldn't include all the sleaze on this dirtbag even in a 4-part series, ie soon after Mills voted to protect "American women" by deporting more “illegals" his mistress retracted a report of assault after he demanded she lie to cops about what happened. www.washingtonbabylondc.com/p/gop-congre...
GOP Congressman Cory Mills' Epic Saga of Fighting America's Most Dangerous Enemies Toe-to-Toe During His Military Service Launched His Political Career. But Is It True?
Part IV: In February, Mills' mistress called the police to report he'd assaulted her. He denies it, but if proven true it would be the first time it's been confirmed Mills ever had a role in combat.

Are you open to the idea of starring in Deep Throat II? Because I've never seen anyone more dedicated than you are to mastering the art of the blow job. Jesus Christ, senator, have some goddamn self-respect.

Finished up the final interviews for Part III of story on Congressman Cory Mills & hope to post it tomorrow. Mills, who portrays himself as a battle-tested combat veteran, is a flat-out fraud. The Wizard of Oz is more tethered to reality than his war stories.
