"Congressman Tony Gonzales is here! Trump announced from the podium. Tony, congratulations. Trump didn't specify what he was congratulating Gonzales for. A growing number of Republicans have called on Gonzales to resign following revelations that he allegedly had an affair with a married staffer, who later killed herself by self-immolation."
"The husband of Regina Ann Santos-Aviles told CNN this week that he has a stockpile of texts from Gonzales that show how gross of a man he is, but doesn't plan to release all of the salacious communiques in an attempt to protect his son. Adrian Aviles said his wife admitted to having an affair with Gonzales in May 2024, but refused to quit her job at his request."
"The man has no values. He runs his whole campaign on family values, and he runs everything saying that he's some family man. He's actually quite a sick man. Aviles told CNN's Erin Burnett, characterizing Gonzales as hypocritical and morally compromised despite his public persona."
President Trump visited the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas to promote U.S. energy production and unexpectedly gave a public shoutout to Rep. Tony Gonzales, congratulating him without explanation. Gonzales faces mounting pressure to resign following allegations of an affair with a married staffer, Regina Ann Santos-Aviles, who died by self-immolation in September 2025. Multiple Republican lawmakers, including Reps. Massie, Boebert, Luna, and Roy, have called for his resignation. Gonzales has refused to step down, stating facts will emerge. The staffer's husband possesses texts allegedly showing inappropriate communications between Gonzales and Santos-Aviles, including requests for explicit photos. The husband characterized Gonzales as hypocritical for campaigning on family values.
