Apparently, it's only OK when Trump and his Epstein friends do it.

Pressure is mounting on Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) to resign following the publication of text messages that show the married three-term congressman pressured a staffer to send him “sexy” pics and quizzed her about favorite sexual positions, even as she told him his sexually-charged banter was going “too far.” Several lawmakers from both parties have called for Gonzales to step down, including a number of prominent MAGA women.

Regina Santos-Aviles, who served as the director for Gonzales’ regional district office in Uvalde, Texas, for four years, died in September after lighting herself on fire. Text messages unearthed by the San Antonio Express-News after her death indicate Santos-Aviles, who was married with a young child, eventually acceded to Gonzales’ advances and engaged in an extramarital affair that was discovered by her husband and, ultimately, her co-workers.

Gonzales, who is locked in a competitive Republican primary, previously denied the affair, telling the Express-News the “rumors are completely untruthful.”

But text messages made public on Monday by Adrian Aviles, Santos-Aviles’ estranged husband, show the Republican representative repeatedly pressuring his staffer for photos and intimate details.
