House Ethics Committee Establishes Investigative Subcommittee Into Rep. Tony Gonzales Over Allegations Involving Staffer Who Later Died — Nancy Mace | ChamberLight
The House Ethics Committee has launched an investigative subcommittee to probe allegations of sexual misconduct and unfair favors involving Rep. Tony Gonzales and a deceased staffer as he heads into a primary runoff.
Outlets across the political spectrum are providing uniformly negative coverage of Representative Tony Gonzales following his admission of an affair with a deceased staffer. While Breitbart focuses on the House Ethics Committee's formal investigation into sexual misconduct, The Washington Times highlights Gonzales's refusal to resign and his denial of responsibility for the staffer's suicide. Mediaite and other center-leaning sources emphasize the mounting political pressure, noting that House GOP leadership has called for him to drop his reelection bid.
