'After the Uvalde school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers, Gonzales supported a sweeping and bipartisan gun violence bill signed by President Joe Biden. He is also the only Texas Republican in the statehouse or Congress who has called for the resignation of the state’s police chief over the fumbled law enforcement response to the attack.'
He joins Liz Cheney in being censured (likely will be, but hasn't yet) for voting for what he believes is the right and proper thing to do (more gun regulation; Uvalde is in his district.)
He's also stood apart from the rest of the GOP in Texas on immigration and border issues, and "He has also voted to defend same-sex marriage and was an outright “no” against a House rules package after Republican leader Kevin McCarthy became speaker."
Obviously if you don't toe the party line, you get silenced (and primaried in the next election for your seat.) These fuckers have no qualms about mass shootings...including in schools...to continue unabated; they are truly irredeemable IMHO.
Protect the children my ass...only when it doesn't infringe on imagined and overstated gun rights.
