‘He has a monstrous gift of bulls**t,’ a former colleague says.
Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida built his political career with stories of heroism in the U.S. Army and as a private military operative, but several former colleagues say he exaggerated or lied about being “blown up” twice in Iraq, being an Army Ranger, training as an 18 Delta Special Forces Medical Sergeant, being a military-trained sniper, and saving the lives of two soldiers wounded by enemy fire. They also allege he walked away from his post in Iraq when his employer asked him to verify his service record.
As much time and energy as Mills has spent promoting his history, he’s now running from some details as the men he served with and the media are increasingly questioning his record, personal life, and truthfulness.
Mills is under new and intense scrutiny after Blaze News revealed that he was married in 2014 by a radical imam in Falls Church, Va. The imam, Sheikh Mohammed Al-Hanooti, was a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a fundraiser for the terror group Hamas, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York. The wedding took place at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, where two of the 9/11 hijackers once attended and where notorious terror leader and al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki was an imam.
‘People could have f**king died depending upon him if he failed to perform.’
Mills has consistently presented himself as a Christian since he ran for Congress, but there continues to be controversy over whether Mills converted to Islam to marry Rana Al Saadi in 2014. His girlfriend recently told the Daily Mail, “that the claims made in the Blaze article are entirely untrue,” while five former associates, including one on the record, told Blaze News that Mills told them he had converted at the time of his wedding.
‘It just started to make sense. It was like, “Oh well, he couldn’t f**king run any more. He couldn’t hide anymore.” Why else would someone do this?’
Many former associates also recently went on the record with Blaze News to dispute his record of accomplishments overseas. “He has a monstrous gift of bulls**t, and it’s impressive,” said Jesse Parks, Mills’ supervisor during the last of his time with DynCorp. “It’s also pathetic. Because [the way] I look at it is people could have f**king died depending upon him if he failed to perform.”
