Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas said he will not resign amid questions about alleged sexually explicit text messages and a relationship with a former staffer, telling CNN’s Manu Raju that “what you have seen are not all the facts.”
Several House Republicans have now called on their colleague to resign over the reported sexual texts from the U.S. representative to an aide with whom he is alleged to have had an affair. The aide later died by suicide.
“I will not resign,” he said. “I work every day for the people of Texas.”
Gonzales declined to directly confirm the authenticity of alleged text messages asking the former staffer or whether an affair occurred.
When asked to provide the details to his constituents, now, the Republican replied, “My constituents are not here in D.C., my constituents are back home in Texas.”
Raju also reported that Gonzales plans to speak with House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana later Tuesday.
