In a surprising move, Texas’ far-right lieutenant governor has endorsed U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, a centrist Republican representing a South Texas district that includes San Antonio. Gonzales last week was forced into a runoff in Texas 23rd Congressional District against Brandon Herrera, a gun-brandishing YouTube personality known as the “AK Guy.” Gonzales also was censured by the state GOP last year for rejecting a draconian border security bill and supporting gay marriage and stricter gun laws.
