NEW: Vicente Gonzalez involved in bar fight over comments disparaging the police

New reporting from Breitbart News shows Vicente Gonzalez was involved in a bar fight 20 years ago over disparaging comments he made about the Donna Police Department.

Breitbart reports: “Gonzalez, who was just a lawyer at the time of the incident, ‘came to blows in the early morning hours’ per contemporary local news reports when he was involved in a 2 a.m. bar fight with the mayor in October 2000. At the time of the ‘scuffle,’ Flores had said, the then-lawyer now-congressman was making ‘demeaning statements’ about the Donna police department.”

Vicente Gonzalez’s disdain of law enforcement makes sense considering he’s voted against condemning the Defund the Police movement.
