Outlets across the political spectrum are reporting on Representative Tony Gonzales's retirement following an admitted affair and a House Ethics Committee probe. While AP News focuses on the bipartisan pressure for his resignation, right-leaning outlets like the Conservative Angle emphasize "equal accountability" by frequently pairing his case with allegations against Democrat Eric Swalwell.
