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.

      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

      Nah I’m just tired of people claiming how awful it is to see suffering when the worst they’ve had to go through is hosing the mud off their pavement princess.

        Ah yes, forget about the loved ones of people that have seen their family members commit suicide in horrible ways, think about, wait what are we thinking about? Your point is wrong headed to say the least.

        Oh it is insensitive. Get the fuck out.

            Look who is misconstruing what was said to make themselves look better, it’s you!

            You can fuck all the way off and then continue fucking off. Trying to get offended on others behalf by using dishonest arguments is why everybody fucking hates the left by the way. You are the fucking problem here one of many.
