Weeks after Politico reported that GOP congressional hopeful Cory Mills made his fortune selling tear gas used on Black Lives Matter demonstrators, the MAGA businessman boasted in a new ad that the “liberal media is crying about it” before suggesting he’d tear-gas them himself. “If the media wants to shed some real tears, I can help them out with that,” a smirking Mills says alongside footage of him shooting gas canisters.
Mills, a former Trump defense adviser and combat veteran, is running in the crowded GOP field to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy in Florida’s 7th Congressional District. Recent polling shows he is one of the favorites in the field and the first-time, self-funded candidate has already racked up an impressive list of endorsements from pro-Trump lawmakers and conservative groups. (Though he has yet to get the coveted official backing from the ex-president himself.)
With the wealthy businessman drawing increased attention in the heavily watched open race, Politico ran a story last month noting that he grew rich from his company PACEM Solutions selling arms and riot-control gear to police departments and providing training to law enforcement and private security agencies. Noting that while “there’s no issue with the firm’s activities” legally, the company’s activities could prove “dicey” politically. Specifically, anti-riot bullets that were fired on Hong Kong protesters by police in 2019 came from a PACEM subsidiary. Throughout 2019 and 2020, millions of demonstrators took to the streets to oppose mainland China’s extradition plan—protests that drew bipartisan applause from U.S. lawmakers.
Additionally, the company’s tear gas was used against racial and social justice protesters in 2020 following George Floyd’s murder, resulting in probes by congressional Democrats about the health hazards of the firm’s products. In response to Politico’s article, Mills said that his company was “proud” to sell tear gas to police departments and noted that the PACEM subsidiary no longer supplies rubber bullets to Hong Kong. Mills, who recently announced he launched a “six-figure” ad buy in the Orlando market, takes aim at not just Politico in his last campaign commercial but the media at large. And he insinuates that he’d try out his company’s products on reporters.

he appears with a young boy (I assume it's his son, but you never know) who's holding a sign saying, "Faith Family Freedom". 
I'm surprised he's not holding an assault rifle as well, but he's probably saving that for his christmas cards.

I pay your salary. Respect! Appears you have never heard of it!
Revolting and treasonous Cory
No Cory, you should be ashamed. You have shown yourself to be a truly indecent man. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Floridian here...please stop continuing to prove we are not worth saving...your comment is disgusting Mills. I would say that you should be ashamed, but I doubt that you are.
Rep Mills, do you not see how your tweet is grossly inappropriate and vile? As a fellow veteran, you have brought shame on the rest of us veterans, and should apologize immediately for your hatefulness 😡🇺🇸
Absolutely despicable.
Cory can't help it. The lies and corruption run deep in DeSantisland. Doesn't it, Cory?
Ass
I think you owe America AND
@RepSwalwell
an apology.
Could you possibly be any ruder or more inappropriate?
Nah. Class up.
Usual garbage from the gop
when the new speaker said "we can disagree, but it will never be personal" you're just like, no, let's do the opposite
Loser
5th gen Florida / 4th gen law enforcement fam, and we're all in agreement on this:
You don't deserve the office you hold.
You embarrass all of us, nationwide, with your disgusting immaturity.
Grow up and do your damn job, or step down.
I promise you, we voters will remember.

and so much more.
what an asshole
here's a couple pics on that thread:
Republicans learned from him that it was okay to pull out all the stops and show the worst side of themselves to the public. Those capable of such vile and despicable behavior always were vile and despicable, but they used to keep their vileness under wraps. It was Trump who showed them that they could lay it all out for the world to see with few, if any, consequences.
Remember how shocking it was when he mocked that disabled reporter, talked about Megyn Kelly having "blood coming out of her wherever," and said John McCain wasn't a war hero because he "got caught"? Not everyone was shocked, because not everyone has qualities like compassion and empathy that most of us expect from each other. Those who, like Trump, lack those qualities, weren't offended at all. The "lesson" they took from those tawdry, tacky stunts was, "Hey, I don't need to pretend to be 'nice' anymore! It's fine to be rude, crude, and cruel. I don't have to keep it in--I can let it all out like he does!"
And now here we are, in a world where Cory Mills, a member of Congress, can feel free to tweet something that gross and nasty about the spouse of another member of Congress and pat himself on the back for "owning the libs" (because that's what he actually thinks he did ).
TDFG has a lot to answer for, beyond just being the most traitorous and criminally corrupt pos who ever got elected potus.
I will do that, because why not.
