Accounts of abuse at the hands of Rob Porter were known to Chief of Staff John Kelly. Why didn’t he do something about it? A roundup of editorials Friday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the left:

1. Explain the Rob Porter story. Any of it.

The Washington Post: Which man’s integrity are we talking about here – Rob Porter’s or Gen. John Kelly’s?

2. Rob Porter's Ouster Roils the White House

From Vanity Fair: Is Kelly so tone deaf he can’t react to the claims (with photos) of Porter’s ex-wives that he is an abuser?

3. Why men like John Kelly do nothing when abuse allegations surface

From CNN: It’s easier to think someone “like us” isn’t abusing his wife.
