The Texas Republican Party censured Rep. Tony Gonzales on Saturday for his"lack of fidelity to Republican principles and priorities," after the congressman defied the GOP on key issues including immigration, guns, and House rules.
The Texas congressman was not present for the vote, citing his leadership of a congressional delegation trip near the Mexican border in Eagle Pass and Uvalde on Monday. Gonzales has defended his voting decisions regarding guns, where he was the only Republican to vote for gun safety laws, and his support of legislation codifying same-sex marriage.
Gonzales added that he has voted almost 1,400 times, most of which he voted"with the Republican Party." Gonzales was also the only Republican to vote against the House rules package hammered out by Speaker Kevin McCarthy , citing concerns about defense spending cuts and lowering the threshold to force the speaker from office.
