Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales has been accused of pressuring yet another staffer for nude photos.
Years before Gonzales, 45, was exposed for his affair with a former subordinate who later died by suicide, the Trump-endorsed politician had relentlessly pursued his former campaign director, the San Antonio Express-News reported Monday.
The Texas congressman, who has six children with his wife, Angel, went so far as to ask the staffer for nudes a dozen times over the course of three days.
The campaign worker, who asked to remain anonymous, said Gonzales’s behavior began two months after she joined his campaign in April 2020.
While she did engage in explicit conversations with Gonzales, the staffer rebuffed his repeated propositions for sex. Congressional ethics rules prohibit sexual relationships between lawmakers and their staffers.
I will not apologize for encouraging people not to commit suicide in horrible ways that affect their loved ones for the rest of their lives, because some unconnected person is looking to get offended on others’ behalf, because he or she has nothing positive to offer (that’s you!)
I don’t care how many half wits endorse your attacks either, you are a cancer on the left and the reason we lost.
Because you can’t take 30 seconds to reflect on how much internal pain and turmoil a human being must be experiencing and for a long while, to choose suicide in any manner, let alone one so extremely excruciating. You haven’t the capacity to see this as self-punishment, a reflection of the punishment society and those oh so innocent family members subject the victim to. Gfy
