Rep. Thomas Tiffany Calls Rep. Cory Mills' Revenge Porn Threats 'Unbecoming'
Wisconsin Rep. Thomas Tiffany said Florida Rep. Cory Mills' threats to share revenge porn are "not befitting" a member of Congress. Mills faces a restraining order after a former partner accused him of threatening to send nude photos.
Wisconsin Rep. Thomas Tiffany criticized his colleague Rep. Cory Mills over revenge porn threats, calling the behavior inappropriate for a Congress member.
Mills, a Florida Republican, is under investigation for sexual and financial misconduct. In October, a North Florida judge issued a restraining order against Mills after a former romantic partner accused him of threatening to share nude photos of her. The woman also said Mills threatened to harm her future romantic partners.
Tiffany was walking toward the Capitol when he made his comments about Mills. While calling the behavior "not befitting" a Congress member, Tiffany said he's withholding full judgment on his colleague who remains under scrutiny.
The restraining order was issued for protection against dating violence. Mills has not publicly responded to the specific allegations about revenge porn threats.
This shows how Congress members are handling serious allegations against their colleagues. The case highlights ongoing problems with revenge porn threats, which can destroy victims' lives and careers.
Mills' misconduct investigations continue. More Congress members may face pressure to comment on the allegations.
