GOP House Candidate Implies He’ll Teargas Members of the Media to Help Them ‘Shed Some Real Tears’

A Republican candidate in Florida for the U.S. House of Representatives implied in a campaign video ad released on Thursday that he’ll gladly teargas the media.

Cory Mills, who is running in the Sunshine State’s 7th Congressional District to succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy, is a military veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I came home and started a company making riot control munitions for law enforcement,” he said. “You may know some of our work.”

The ad then plays clips of tear gas being used at Black Lives Matter protests.

“And now the liberal media’s crying about it,” he said. The ad showed part of a Politico headline that reads that Mills “sold tear gas used on Black Lives Matter protesters.”

Mills is then seen shooting tear gas.

“I’m Cory Mills and I approve this message because if the media wants to shed some real tears, I can help them out with that,” he said.
