Outlets across the spectrum are reporting on Gonzales's resignation following an admitted affair and ethics investigation, with center-left sources like KVIA focusing on the "embattled" representative's harassment allegations. In contrast, far-right outlets such as Victory Girls Blog employ much harsher rhetoric, framing the exit as "trash taking itself out" while emphasizing the coercive nature of his relationship with a deceased staffer.
