Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales (R)
Medina County GOP chair Julie Clark on Monday kicked off a primary bid against Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales, an announcement that came days after the state Republican Party censured the incumbent for defying the party line on multiple occasions. Clark brought up Gonzales’ apostasies in a launch video where her narrator accuses the congressman of “trying to take away our guns,” a reference to the gun safety legislation he supported last year after the Robb Elementary School shooting happened in his 23rd Congressional District.
The video, after claiming Gonzales “voted for taxpayer-funded abortions and even voted against securing our border with a wall,” attacks him for confirming Joe Biden’s victory in the hours after the Jan. 6 attack, though this is framed as him having “voted to put Joe Biden into office, and for the sham Jan. 6 committee.” After showing footage of Clark aiming her gun, the narrator ominously says, “It’s time we take out the RINO, and replace them with real American patriots.”
