Dud Republican Congressman Gives Out Dud Grenades

 


 

He seems nice (and smart!!):

A newly elected Florida Republican sent grenades to fellow members of Congress, prompting one aghast Democrat to say “not even George Santos could make this stuff up”.  [snip]

The grenades were sent by another freshman, Cory Mills, a member of the armed services and foreign affairs committees.

Stamped with a Republican elephant, the inert projectiles came with a letter in which Mills said: “It is my pleasure to give you a 40mm grenade, made for a Mk19 grenade launcher. They are manufactured in the Sunshine State and first developed in the Vietnam war.

“Let’s come together and get to work on behalf of our constituents.”

As pictures of the grenades spread online, a spokesman for Mills told the Washington Post: “Per the letter, the grenades are inert, and were cleared through all security metrics. I just wish they tagged our official account.”

The comparison to Santos was made by congressman Jim Himes of Connecticut, a member of the House intelligence committee.

Mills, 42 and a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, won the contest to succeed the Democrat Stephanie Murphy in Florida’s seventh district last year. [snip]

A defense and security contractor before entering Congress, he has boasted about selling teargas used against protesters for racial justice...

We always say nothing says "Let's come together" like handing out grenades, dud or otherwise!

Being an inert projectile himself, Rep. "Dud" Mills is naturally a racist and an election denier who ran with the Malignant Loser's full endorsement.  His most recent performative antic further solidifies his reputation as your bog standard Republican/ Seditionist/ MAGA meathead, which was first burnished by his uproarious take on the assault on Speaker Pelosi's husband earlier in the month.

Nice job, Florida 7th!

Never mind him. Imagine being the people that checked his name off and smiled. In that neck off the woods that picture would be all one needs to win.

seafury -- sad but true. They got what they deserve (as did the Santos voters in NY).
