Married MAGA Rep Faces Bombshell Affair Claim From Suicide Aide

[Zorro]

A Republican congressman had an affair with one of his aides who later died after setting herself on fire outside her Texas home, according to a report.

Rep. Tony Gonzales, who is up for re-election in Texas’ 23rd District, had an affair with his district director, Regina Ann “Regi” Santos-Aviles, the San Antonio Express-News reported, citing text messages sent by Santos-Aviles.

The congressional staffer went into a deep depression when her husband found out about the affair, and then Gonzales ended the relationship. Santos-Aviles, a mother of an 8-year-old boy, died after setting herself alight in the garden of her Uvalde home last September.

A former staffer in Gonzales’ district office who worked closely with Santos-Aviles shared text messages seen by the Express-News in which she told him: “I had (sic) affair with our boss and I’m fine. You will be fine.”

1. Investigated by the Uvalde police who didn't bring this up... yes, *that* Uvalde police

2. He's a sleazebag!

I thought that long before this - although the allegations of the affair have been floating around since the death.

He flaunts the "party of family values". Yeah, right.
