“EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – He represents half of El Paso County and 40 percent of the U.S.-Mexico border in Congress. Yet U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, was noticeably absent when President Biden stepped off Air Force One in El Paso on Sunday to be briefed on the migrant crisis.

By contrast, Democratic House members Veronica Escobar, Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez – who also represent border districts in Texas – flew in with the president

“He was going to visit the district. I reached out to the team and said, ‘Hey, I want to be part of the visit…,’ and they essentially ghosted me,” Gonzales told Fox News Radio. “I don’t give a damn about being on Air Force One. I don’t care about pictures. I would have met him on the tarmac, I would have joined the motorcade, whatever. (I wanted) 5 minutes to have a conversation.””
