Florida, the Sunshine State. Also home to the infamous creature known as the Florida-man, and one elected official is flirting dangerously close to adding that title to his political legacy. Republican Congressman Cory Mills has been harassed and sued over unpaid rent, not in his home state of Florida, but in his apartment in Washington, D.C. He is being accused of having unpaid rent reaching five figures, and he has finally broken his silence on all the drama.
In a post on the Florida Reddit page by user nbcnews, and also shared on their official site, Congressman Cory Mills has finally broken the silence on the unpaid rent, accompanied by literal receipts. He is being accused of owing an insane and whopping $85,000 sum on his DC penthouse. It must be a fancy place to rent to be this expensive so quickly. This is what Cory Mills had to say about the incident and how he addressed the reports by the reporter who broke the story, Roger Sollenberger, via X.
Roger, I know facts are unusual and unfamiliar thing for you, but here’s just the past two months where you can see I’m repeatedly asking for payment links and again as I tried with management today, it failed to process. “Error code 108 typically indicates an issue with the Windows Installer Service, often meaning another installation is already running. It can also be related to bank connectivity problems in financial software” Facts are a finicky thing but wouldn’t expect you to be anything other than a biased hack!
As you can see, he essentially and emphatically slams the person he claims is the biased reporter, likely referring to their political affiliation. Here is what some of his supporters said in his defense after his social media posts went viral.
“Oh yeah, I can relate to this. It’s unbelievable when a landlord gives you a hard time because their system doesn’t work.”
“Like it was even newsworthy..to begin with”
“You people voted for this POS”
“Cory Mills went to Israel after 10/7 to bring back stranded Americans that the Biden administration left there to be killed by Hamas. He always rises to help Americans in need. I’m sorry he’s going through a tough time, If all this is true.”
As you can see, you often get a lot of liberal hate on posts like this, but it was pretty evenly split between his supporters and those wondering how a man on his salary even has a penthouse this pricey to begin with.
