VIDEO: Ciscomani Stayed Silent When Asked Directly About Donations From His “Bestie,” “Predator” Tony Gonzales

Ciscomani accepted more than $43,000 from “scandal-plagued” lawmakers including Gonzales, who had an affair with a subordinate

A new video shows Juan Ciscomani refusing to acknowledge the tens of thousands of dollars he accepted from “predator” and his “bestie” Tony Gonzales, a Texas lawmaker who admitted to having an affair with a subordinate who later took her own life. When asked directly if he would return the money to Gonzales, Ciscomani stayed silent.

Concerned American: Congressman Ciscomani, are you going to give Tony Gonzales his $30,000 back?

Ciscomani: [Silence]

The top recipient of campaign cash from Gonzales, Ciscomani was not one of the many Republicans to call on Gonzales to resign or suspend his re-election bid. Ciscomani and Gonzales appear to have a close relationship, campaigning together in Tucson and referring to each other as “bestie” and “my man” on social media.

REMINDER: Ciscomani has received more than $43,000 from lawmakers “mired in sexual misconduct scandals,” including Gonzales, North Carolina lawmaker Chuck Edwards, and Ohio lawmaker Max Miller. Ciscomani refuses to return any of the money or answer questions about the donations from reporters.
