So what's the story with Rep. Gonzalez (R) TX?

[senseandsensibility]

He apparently went on State of the Union (CNN) this morning. He said that Matt Gaetz paid underage women to have sex at drug parties and accused some in his party of wearing white hoods in the daytime.

I mean, sure, I know many R's say this and more behind the scenes, but saying it on live TV seems like a real signal of something. I'm not sure what. Somehow though I doubt it's pure moral clarity. Something else must be going on.

1. Time for Rep. Gonzalez to change parties - any decent person would

not want to be associated with these people. And they definately do not support the Hispanic community.

2. Yes, I guess

he must be afraid of losing the next election. Like you say, if he was sincere he'd switch parties.

3. Gonzales isn't a Democrat, he's a Neocon.

He's in a primary runoff with "Let's Go Brandon AK-47 guy"
It will be interesting to watch. Being moderate will likely not help him in the runoff, but we will see.

Maybe without having Trump in the runoff, the MAGATS will stay home?

That Brandon dude is crazy AF.

4. I know he's not a Dem

That's why I labeled him R in the title. And that's why his takedown of those in his party is noteworthy.
