GOP Rep. Gonzalez retires in face of Trump-backed primary
AXIOS ^ | Sept 16, 2021

Posted on 09/16/2021 7:47:31 PM PDT by 11th_VA

Ohio Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R) announced his retirement on Thursday, declining to run against a Trump-backed primary challenger in 2022.

Why it matters: Gonzalez has suffered politically since siding with House Democrats to impeach the 45th president after the Capitol riot.

Details: The two-term congressman largely supported Trump's agenda — up until the former president tried to block the election certification, per the New York Times.

Gonzalez is one of 10 House Republicans who voted for impeachment. The Ohio Republican Party censured Gonzalez and called on him to resign. Trump, who called Gonzalez a "sellout," endorsed GOP challenger and former White House aide Max Miller in February.

Wait!

Gomer Newsome was proclaiming after his rigged recall survival that Trumpism is OVER.

Perhaps he was wrong about that.

What day do they pick up the trash in that city? I hope
Gonzalez is waiting by the curb for the truck, to hop in.

Even the far-left Trump-hating AXIS of EVIL “Axios” calls Jan. 6th a “riot”. My how the truth hurts!!!

All depends on who he is replaced with and if they stay true to form.

Sasse talked a good game and then stabbed the President in the back as soon as he could. And he’s not the only one, as we all know.

Thanks for the correction! I didn't particularly care about quoting The Grabbin Nuisance correctly.

We DO know that Trump and Trumpism just ran over Gonzalez like roadkill.  face with tears of joy  face with tears of joy

Repeat a lie constantly and people believe it is the truth. Trump never tried to block the certification. He requested that Pence honor the requests of the states that wanted to review their certification and send it back to Pence by Jan 16.
