GOP Rep Calls Primary Opponent “Neo-Nazi Anarchist”

CNN reports:

Rep. Tony Gonzales called his GOP opponent in Texas a “neo-Nazi” and an “anarchist” intent on “burning the place down” — and said Republican hardliners seeking to oust him are a bunch of “scumbags” and MAGA wannabes.

In an interview with CNN, the two-term Texas GOP congressman said the outcome of Tuesday’s runoff against gun activist Brandon Herrera will send a clear message to Republicans amid a period of bitter intraparty infighting that has led to an ousted speaker, a stalled agenda and roiled relations across the House GOP Conference.

“Are we going to be the party that governs and gets things done in a conservative manner?” Gonzales said. “Or are we going to be the party that has jesters that come up here and say wild and crazy outrageous things and just try to burn the place down?”

Herrera has the backing of the Freedom Caucus and Matt Gaetz has traveled to his Texas fundraisers. Herrera calls himself a “gunfluencer” and he regularly makes Nazi and Holocaust jokes on his popular YouTube show where he reviews firearms. His X username is “The AK Guy”

Gonzales last appeared here in April when he accused “scumbag” Gaetz of “paying minors for sex at drug parties.” In March, the Texas GOP voted to censure Gonzales over his vote for a gun control bill. His district includes Uvalde.
