Texas Republican Tony Gonzales admits to affair with staffer who died by suicide as House opens ethics probe

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.
