14 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Nancy Mace pursued a House resolution to censure fellow Republican Cory Mills and remove him from committee assignments, citing allegations against him. The House later referred the resolution to the Ethics Committee rather than immediately removing him. Left-leaning outlets present the move as Mace’s effort to secure Mills’s committee removal. Center outlets mostly emphasize the resolution’s path and related Ethics Committee action, while also reporting Mills’s denials. Right-leaning outlets place the bid amid Republican infighting and, in some accounts, foreground Mace’s allegation of a deal to protect Mills.
