Rep. Tony Gonzales is facing intense scrutiny and calls for resignation following allegations of an affair with a former staff member, who tragically died by suicide. Reports detail explicit text messages sent by Gonzales to the staffer, raising questions about the nature of their relationship and ethical conduct. As the controversy unfolds, prominent Republicans, including Nancy Mace, have urged him to step down, while others within the party are compelled to weigh in on the implications for the upcoming primary. Speaker Mike Johnson has stated the party is attempting to navigate the crisis, but Gonzales has refused to resign, claiming he is being targeted and blackmailed. The situation has sparked significant debate within the GOP, with some members viewing the scandal as a potential threat to their razor-thin majority in Congress.
