A brave anonymous House Republican bitched to former Politico reporter turned Substacker Rachel Bade about Jesus Dork Speaker Mike Johnson and his team’s “feckless leadership” over the Tony Gonzales affair and horrific suicide shitshow. “It’s very clear a decision was made that they wanted this to go away and brushed it under the rug because of the margin,” said the member.
Another believes Johnson probably knew about it before texts Gonzales sent staffer Regina Santos-Aviles were made public last week. “Now it’s coming home to roost,” said the member, adding it was all “hush-hush” and there was no internal movement with Johnson and his team to push Gonzales into at least dropping his reelection bid. “There was no intention of pulling out support for Gonzales had this not become public,” and now they’re going to be stuck with Brandon Herrera.
