Two-Faced Tony Gonzales Votes to Default After Warning it Would Lead to Economic Downfall

Gonzales says “it’s important that in Washington, we ensure that the debt ceiling does not default” two days before voting to default

Two-Faced Tony Gonzales (TX-23) is back with another dishonest flip flop — telling Texans back at home one thing, but voting the opposite way back in DC as he tries to hide his shameful record.

This week, Tony Gonzales put millions of American workers, seniors, and small business owners in harm’s way by voting “NO” for a second time on the historically bipartisan vote to raise the U.S. debt limit.

But you’d never guess he voted that way from watching the interview Two-Faced Tony gave just two days prior, where he made the impassioned case on local TV that allowing the United States to default on its obligations “certainly will impact the stock market. Certainly will impact our retirement savings and things of that nature. So it’s important that in Washington, we ensure that the debt ceiling does not default.”

FLIP:

Rep. Tony Gonzales on KSAT, 10/10/21“The debt ceiling is essentially the maximum amount of money the United States can borrow utilizing bonds. And the danger in defaulting on any loan is it will impact all of us. Certainly will impact the stock market. Certainly will impact our retirement savings and things of that nature. So it’s important that in Washington, we ensure that the debt ceiling does not default.”

FLOP:
“The only thing Texans can trust Two-Faced Tony to do is lie about his voting record,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson.
