| As news continues to swirl around the fallout from Tony Gonzales’ inappropriate relationship with his staffer and Speaker Mike Johnson’s continued efforts to keep him in Congress to protect his fragile House Majority, remember that this is not the first time this Republican House has abandoned common decency in exchange for political power – this pattern started with none other than Cory Mills.
Mills and Republican House leadership’s protection of him laid the groundwork and set the gameplan for how Republicans plan to keep Tony Gonzales in Congress until the very last minute.
For a quick walk down memory lane, Cory Mills has faced a litany of scandals during his time in office, including:
And when these allegations were brought to Speaker Mike Johnson’s attention, he called Cory Mills a ‘faithful colleague’ despite widespread outrage even within the Republican party.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Tony Gonzales’ disqualifying behavior and Mike Johnson’s desperate attempt to keep him in Congress should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Cory Mills. Republican leadership has repeatedly refused to condemn Mills for his disgusting actions and the allegations against him because they know their slim majority is slipping away by the day.” |
