"Gonzales has been in hot water on Capitol Hill for a while, after repeatedly denying and then admitting he was lying about an affair with a married staffer who later committed suicide in exceedingly grisly and tragic fashion."
"Recovered text messages published by The San Antonio Express-News show the married House member and father of six, an avowed Catholic, repeatedly propositioning and pressuring a different campaign staffer for sex."
"Calls for Gonzales' expulsion from Congress have reignited, rather than allowing him to serve out the rest of his term until January."
"Despite this, he is still technically a member of Congress in good standing, with right to vote on legislation, draw his salary and attend briefings."
Rep. Tony Gonzales has been embroiled in controversy following revelations of multiple attempts at infidelity, including an affair with a married staffer. After initially denying the affair, he admitted to it, leading to his withdrawal from the reelection campaign. Text messages have surfaced showing Gonzales propositioning another staffer for sex, raising concerns about his conduct. Calls for his expulsion from Congress have intensified, with potential ties to the expulsion of another member, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, amid ongoing scrutiny of his actions.
