Cory Mills voted in favor of the "Take It Down Act," which makes it a federal crime to threaten revenge porn. On May 19, Trump signed that bill into law. Also on May 19, Cory Mills threatened an ex-girlfriend with revenge porn—potentially the first-ever violation of that new law https://t.co/Pzf5XNAsrQ [Quoting @unknown]: Reporter: Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned yesterday. Why haven’t you? Mills: Can you tell me what criminal charges I have been charged with? Reporter: Well, you’re under investigation. Swalwell and Gonzales— Mills: They were under investigation for what? Sexual misconduct with a staffer. Reporter: But you’ve had a restraining order against you. Mills: No, I have a social media injunction. Should everyone with a restraining order leave?
The Real Impact
The irony—voting for a law then violating it same-day—only holds if both events occurred on May 19, 2026. That date is in the future, making the timeline false as written. The substance of the allegations is real and serious, but the rhetorical setup is temporally broken.
