A Democrat got away with colluding with one of the most notorious p*dophiles in American history thanks to some good-old-fashioned backroom politics.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted against censuring Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) over her collusion with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing.
Earlier Tuesday, the House voted to advance the measure to censure Plaskett and remove her from the House Intelligence Committee. Then, later that evening, the House voted 214 -209 against censuring Plaskett.
Every Democrat voted against the censure, while three Republicans voted present, and three other GOP lawmakers joined the Democrats.
Following the vote, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) exposed the nasty backroom deal cut by House leadership on both sides to ensure the vote would fail.
It turns out GOP leadership was desperate to avoid having Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) face not only a censure vote of his own but also an ethics investigation.
Mills is facing a restraining order for allegedly threatening to circulate explicit videos of his former girlfriend, Lindsey Langston.
Langston claimed in a petition filed in August that NBC News obtained that after they broke up, Mills said he would blackmail her by using nude images and videos. He also allegedly said he would physically harm anyone she dated.
“Cory continued to message me on Instagram accounts I run after blocking him and asking him to not contact me. The messages progressively got more threatening over time,” wrote Langston, a Republican state committeewoman and Miss United States 2024.
A judge granted her request last month.
“The Plaskett censure failed because house leadership exchanged that censure failure for the withdrawal of a vote to censure and refer Cory Mills to house ethics for investigation,” Luna wrote on X.
“The swamp protects itself.”

She also spoke implicitly about the dirty deal while speaking on the House floor following the vote.
“I was wondering if the Speaker of the House of Representatives can explain why leadership on both sides, Democrat and Republican, are cutting backroom deals to cover up public corruption for Republican and Democratic members of Congress,” she said.
“I think we all know what happened tonight.”
No wonder the average American does not trust the federal government.
