A GOP International Arms Dealer, Revenge Porn, Assault, Misogyny— Meet MAGA’s Cory Mills (R-FL)

How Many Women Does Cory Mills Have to Abuse Before The GOP Acts?

Cory Mills represents a relatively safe Republican district (R+5) that includes all of Seminole County along with southern Volusia County. Last year Mills, an international arms dealer, was reelected with nearly 57% of the vote—635 in Volusia County and 52% in Seminole County north of Orlando. He outpolled Trump, who beat Kamala 55.7% to 43.2% in the district.

I suspect that if the Democrats put up a strong candidate— something that rarely happens in Florida, where the Democratic Party has bas basically passed and and been cremated, they would take the district. Right now there are 3 Democratic challengers, Jennifer Adams, the candidate Mills beat last year, Marialana Kinter, a student at the University of Central Florida and attorney Noah Widmann. Widmann has reported over a quarter million dollars raised so far, most of which has already been spent, presumably to raise it.

In any case, the reason why the winner of the primary has a good shot at ousting Mills has to do with Mills, not the Democratic Party and not event Democratic candidate. Mills, a MAGA extremist, is an out-of-control maniac who seems to pursue scandals, several which have caught up with him. Yesterday, Roger Sollenberger broke the story. Short version: Miss United States, Lindsey Langston, a Florida Republican state committeewoman, filed a restraining order to keep Mills away. She has reported him “to local and state law enforcement for harassment, threatening to release sexual videos, and to harm future boyfriends.” She told Sollenberger that “she and Mills began dating in November of 2021, and that she moved in with him at his rented Florida residence last summer. She broke up with him this February when she learned he had a second girlfriend from national news reports— the second girlfriend had reported Mills to police for allegedly assaulting her at their Washington, D.C. condo.” Remember we said “out-of-control maniac?”

Mills continued to harass Langston for months, she reported to police last month, despite repeated requests to be left alone. As part of a police report she made on July 14, 2025, she provided local and state investigators with timestamped digital evidence to support her allegations, which she also shared with Drop Site.

“The threats from Cory intensified over time,” she told Drop Site. “From emotional manipulation, to physical violence against whoever I date in the future, to threats of having me stripped of the Miss United States crown… something I worked extremely hard for and a dream that was placed in my heart long before I even knew who Cory Mills was.”

The evidence covers months of interactions and includes text messages in which Mills— who says he separated from his wife in 2022— warned Langston he posed a threat to anyone she wanted to date in the future (“Strap up, cowboy,” he said in one text) and threatened to release private images shared in the context of their relationship. Langston submitted the evidence to back up an incident report she filed with the Columbia County sheriff’s office last month.

“Since February 20th of 2025 Cory has contacted Lindsey numerous times on numerous different accounts threatening to release nude images and videos of her, to include recorded videos of her and Cory engaging in sexual acts,” the police report says.

…Langston also received a call and texts from Mills’s general counsel, who told her it is illegal under Florida law for her to share her messages with Mills to a reporter without Mills’ consent.

…Langston told Drop Site that the report she made with the Columbia County sheriff’s office has since been “leveled up” to state investigators with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The incident report, obtained by Drop Site, described months of harassment from Mills, noting he had also been “threatening to harm any men Lindsey intended to date in the future.”

One text, obtained by Drop Site, reads, “You want to date or be with someone else. Be my guest. But they need to know well in advance that if we cross paths, l don't care this week, this month, or this decade. They better damn well know it’s coming every time.”

Another message, this one from a Mills Instagram account, reads, “P.S. still waiting on your boy’s text or does he only act tough in front of you? Florida is a small place and my cousin… just moved to Lake City.”

The investigation and restraining order add to an already tumultuous start to the MAGA Republican’s second congressional term. In February, a separate girlfriend reported Mills to police for bruising her at their Washington, D.C., condo, though she later recanted those allegations.

“My biggest fear is that this investigation will mirror the Washington D.C. investigation of the February altercation,” Langston said, referring to the fact that the U.S. attorney did not sign an arrest warrant for Mills issued before Raviani recanted. “I do not question local and state law enforcement’s (Florida) ability to handle this investigation, but I am concerned that because he is an elected official and public figure this will be put off-putting me at risk. I worry that I am simply poking the bear.”

Then, weeks after that incident, the Office of Congressional Conduct referred Mills to the House Ethics Committee for investigation after finding he likely violated federal ethics, contracting, and campaign finance laws. In July, Mills and the weapons company he founded a decade ago, PACEM, were notified that their foreign creditors were moving to liquidate tens of millions of dollars in unpaid foreign debt that Mills has never disclosed to Congress, despite his personal liability. Days later, Mills’s D.C. landlord filed a lawsuit to evict him after he failed to pay four straight months of $20,000 rent.

… Langston was elected Columbia County Republican Committeewoman last August and took the crown at the Miss United States pageant in October. She told police that she confronted Mills in February about Raviani, with whom he had just returned from a Middle East vacation. Mills denied being in another relationship and claimed the assault allegation was “fabricated” by the media.

“On February 20, 2025 Lindsey was at their New Smyrna residence when she saw on the news that Cory had been in a physical altercation with ‘his girlfriend’ while in Washington D.C.,” the report says. “Lindsey confronted Cory about the woman, to which Cory told her he was not in a romantic relationship with her and the press fabricated the story. Lindsey then found a social media account for the other woman and saw posted photos of her with Cory.” (This all came after a cocktail party in January, Langston said, when Mills had introduced her to a group of Florida GOP movers and shakers as his “girlfriend of one year”—reinforcing her belief they were exclusive.)

Langston left the house and broke off the relationship, she told Drop Site. Days later, Mills tried to convince her to stay together, text messages show. When Langston pointed out that Raviani was with him in his Florida home that very moment, Mills said he’d only brought Raviani to the beach house as “a PR thing” that “lawyers recommended.”

Over the next several months, Mills ignored Langston’s requests to be left alone— alternately declaring his ongoing love for her, insulting her, trying to rekindle their relationship, and threatening to attack future boyfriends.

The unwanted contact continued even after Langston blocked his phone number and social media accounts. At one point, she said, she received a call from a generic U.S. Capitol number. Mills also got around the blocks by sending private Instagram messages to the official Miss United States account, Langston said, knowing that pageant employees also had access to that account.

Today, Langston understands her relationship with Mills survived several competing D.C. trysts, knowledge of which is now fairly common among GOP members, staffers, and operatives. Langston told Drop Site that she felt she was speaking out, as Miss United States, “to be a voice for those needing to be heard-for past, present, and future victims who are being manipulated, threatened, and extorted into silence.”

Three other former romantic partners of Mills shared similar anecdotes and observations, telling Drop Site they believe Mills is frightening, disloyal, and unstable. Mills has threatened multiple women to deter them from speaking about him publicly, according to five people with knowledge of the threats.

Langston told Drop Site that Mills kept pressuring her to have group sex even after she made it clear to him she did not want to participate. Langston shared one text message proposition from Mills, which began, “I know you’re not into this, but….”

The three other women described Mills as a liar, saying he confidently misled them about fundamental facts of his life. Two of these women said that, after describing some of Mills’ behavior, trusted friends urged them to get as much distance from him as possible, as soon as possible.

“He’s a legit psychopath,” one ex told Drop Site, adding that the ease with which Mills lies, manipulates, and veils his threats still frightens her.

Another former romantic partner also independently described Mills as a “psychopath.”

On at least one occasion, Mills sent a woman to a male friend’s home— a male friend this woman had never met— to have sex, according to texts and audio messages obtained by Drop Site. The male friend described his experience as humiliating, likening his role in them to “sex slavery.”

Langston also raised questions about how Mills receives his income. “There were many times where I personally saw people from his company give him sacks of cash.” One such incident took place last June, Langston recalled, when she and Mills had dinner in D.C. with two officials from his weapons company, PACEM. Langston said the conversation at the table never veered into business, but, after dinner, one of the men handed Mills a bank pouch full of cash.

… Another ex-girlfriend independently told Drop Site that Mills would “show off” these bank pouches, which he would sometimes claim carried as much as $100,000.

Mills lavished his girlfriends with gifts; he gave Langston— including designer clothes and accessories, trips, and a pre-owned Range Rover— and heavily subsidized her living expenses, she said.

Mills is also listed as personally liable in Virginia corporate records for tens of millions of dollars in corporate debt, doesn’t draw a corporate salary, and claims to donate his full congressional salary to charity. Last month, he received an eviction notice from the Washington, D.C. condo he shared with Raviani after failing to pay his $20,000 rent for four months. Mills blamed a broken link in his payment app, and squared up with his landlord after national media picked up the story.

If a Democrat can’t beat this guy the party might as well fold up the tent and just leave the state to the GOP. After all, this isn’t just a case of personal indiscretions or a messy breakup. This is a dangerous pattern of abuse, intimidation, financial murkiness, and ethical rot— by a sitting member of Congress who also happens to be a weapons dealer. And it's all happening out in the open, with police reports, state investigations and first-hand accounts stacking up faster than Mills can threaten another woman into silence. This man isn’t just unfit to serve; he’s a walking prison sentence and Trump pardon waiting to happen.

Mills represents everything the MAGA movement has normalized: cruelty masquerading as strength, corruption as business savvy, and misogyny as masculinity. He should never have been elected to Congress in the first place, but now that his behavior is documented, reported and corroborated by multiple sources, there is no excuse for letting him skate by again. If Democrats can’t make a compelling case that Cory Mills is a national embarrassment and an imminent threat— not just to women, but to ethical governance— then what exactly is the point of having a Democratic Party in Florida at all? Voters don’t need another centrist consultant’s blueprint. They need a fighter who can walk into Seminole and southern Volusia and say, this man is a disgrace, and I will stand up to him because no one else will.

And the scandal isn’t just Mills. It’s the silence of the Republican leadership enabling him and tge silence of all of his colleagues aware of how he spends his time degrading women. It’s the complacency of Democrats who won't seize this moment. And it’s the moral failure of anyone who looks at a candidate credibly accused of revenge porn, domestic abuse, violent threats and financial fraud— and shrugs. If this isn’t a winnable seat, even in Florida, then what is?
