Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales Blast Fellow Republicans: "I serve with some real scumbags”
Rep. Tony Gonzales
“It's my absolute honor to be in Congress but I serve with some real scumbags. Look, Matt Gaetz — he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi. These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime.” -Rep. Tony Gonzales (link)
I have not done a deep dive into the factors that go into an ACU score. I used to trust the ACU but since they have gone full-fledged Trumpinista, I do not automatically assume their values and my values are the same. For example, does a Ukraine aid vote now raise or lower your ACU score? I don't know. Did voting to oust McCarthy raise or lower one's score. Did a vote to not impeach Trump raise one's score?
The Matt Gaetz guy denies the allegation. i can only find one allegation of him having sex with a 17 year old. Not sure about “drug parties”, either. I would not support someone who called his colleagues “scum bags.” This trash talk is unprofessional, and unsubstantiated accusations and slander are very offensive to me. He could simply take a stand against drug parties and sex with minors and neo-nazis, etc. Now, if Gaetz was tried and convicted or made an admission, that would be different. An allegation is not proof.
Just looked to see if he is worth my meager political contribution but his ACU rating is 66%. Hard to be enthused.
