Gone, Baby, Gone, Bad Politicians, Gone

Representatives Gonzales, Swalwell, and Cherfilus-McCormick are almost gone, and we’re happy about it. Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales (TX-23) announced he would resign effective Tuesday. The married Representative had an affair with an aide who later killed herself by setting herself on fire. He would have been expelled if he hadn’t resigned. Gonzales’s resignation letter: Enclosed is my resignation letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, effective April 14, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It has been my privilege to serve the residents of Texas’ 23rd congressional district. Sincerely, Tony Gonzales, Member of Congress. Rep. Tony Gonzales resigns amid scandal that saw a beautiful young woman commit suicide by setting herself on fire! https://t.co/DIC8M5cXWx — Sherri Unfiltered (@FFT17
