A fifth woman has accused Rep. Eric Swalwell of rape and physical assault as the California Democrat reportedly prepares to resign from the House amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
Media outlets across the political spectrum are providing uniformly negative coverage of Swalwell’s resignation and the suspension of his gubernatorial campaign. While center-left sources like The Daily Beast focus on the procedural pressure from the House Ethics Committee, right-leaning outlets such as Fox News and The American Spectator emphasize the "ignominy" of the scandal and the increasing number of accusers.
