The Texas Republican Party on Saturday voted to censure censure Congressman Tony Gonzales over his support for new gun safety measures in the wake of the Uvalde massacre which killed 21 students and teachers at an elementary school in Gonzales’s district, Axios reports.
Unlike with most of the other stupid, circlejerky censures in recent years by various state and local Republican Parties – such as the Arizona GOP’s censure of Cindy McCain and the Alaska GOP’s for Moscow Mitch – this one will have actual consequences for Gonzales as it formally empowers the state party to endorse a primary challenger to punish the “RINO” for defying their death cult beliefs.
