Meet the Gun-Toting Influencer Who—Thanks to the Tony Gonzales Scandal—May Soon Be in Congress
Back in 2024, Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) complained about his colleague, then-Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). Gaetz was embroiled in a lurid scandal involving a Florida tax collector, an associate of the congressman who was charged with sex trafficking; federal investigators were reportedly also looking into allegations Gaetz had moved underage women across state lines for sex. The DOJ declined to prosecute Gaetz, who maintains his innocence, but in 2024, Gonzales reminded everyone of it, remarking, “I serve with some real scumbags like Matt Gaetz. He paid minors to have sex with them at drunk parties.” That Gonzales said it on CNN — enemy territory for the House Freedom Caucus — didn’t help. The congressman had made enemies to his right.
