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.

      His gf’s death is suspicious, I think he did it, set her on fire.

      There was apparently video and I think the family said she definitely did it to herself. That’s the thing about abuse of all persuasions, he may have made her go over the edge, even if he didn’t do the actual deed.

        Jesus. There are a few things worse in this world than watching somebody burn to death alive. Horrible way to go, people that do that to themselves have no respect for their families.

            Purposeful misunderstanding of points to get offended on behalf of others is a shitty habit to get into Mr. Minnesota, nobody likes that shit, cut it out.

              well if you wanna get semantic, unless you’ve watched a family member burn to death then you’re actively being offended on behalf of others in this interaction

                You have no leg to stand on here, looking for an excuse to get offended on others’ behalf under dishonest arguments because you have nothing to share of value yourself.
