Representatives Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress on Tuesday under threat of imminent expulsion following separate investigations into sexual misconduct and ethical violations.
Outlets across the spectrum are reporting on Gonzales's resignation with uniform negativity, though they emphasize different consequences of the scandal. While center-left sources like NPR and MS NOW focus on the House Ethics Committee probe and the tragic suicide of the staffer involved, right-leaning outlets like Fox News highlight the subsequent push by GOP colleagues to strip Gonzales of his taxpayer-funded pension.
