Rep. Cory Mills Claims Some Dead Palestinians Are ‘Paid Actors’

Mills himself is the founder of a munitions company that has sold arms to foreign governments.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has claimed that “paid actors” are pretending to be killed in the Israel-Hamas war during an appearance on Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), a conservative media outlet. “What the mainstream media is saying about the indiscriminate fire and the actors—I mean you literally have paid actors who are pretending to be killed, pretending to be treated,” Mills said on RSBN.

Mills himself is the founder of a munitions company that has sold arms to foreign governments, although he has refused to say which.
