and more importantly, fellow New Jerseyan Cory Booker is calling for him to resign.

Not only is he refusing to resign, hes blaming calls to resign on racism.

Now we have Ed Markey and Jacky Rosen, bringing it up to ten.

Chuck Schumer is looking dumber by the minute for going to bat for Menendez. It wont be long until we have enough votes to expel him.

As bad as Menendez is, some blame needs to go to the voters who re-elected him when corruption charges came up years ago...

Sorry, Schumer. But you dont defend bad behavior. Call for other Democrats to demand Menendez to resign.

As if a Republican would be any better. Could have tried to primary him, but good luck with that.

Reminder that you will never see Republicans calling for one of their own to resign, regardless of how obviously guilty they are. *coughTRUMPcough*

Almost 20 Dem senators asking you to resign. That's hypothetical expulsion territory.

Tom Cotton and Mark Rubio have come out to urge Menendez to not resign.

We know whats going on here. If Menendez is the incumbent next year, the Republicans are very likely to take that seat.

Will you blame voters for almost electing a pedophile into the senate in 2017? Will you blame voters for wanting to elect a literal treasonous pile of shit into the presidency next year?

My guess is no. Because you want to burn the entire country down because fox news tells you trans people bad.

Dont feel that way. Not every state allows their governor to appoint a replacement. The 17th Amendment gives states the option to appoint a replacement during a vacancy, but its not required.

Not going to lie, it pisses me off that Democrats are the only ones willing to expel pieces of shit like this from Congress. Did Republicans ever do anything with George Santos?

no they arent, New Jersey has not elected a Republican senator since 1972

as someone who is from New Jersey, no one really challenged him in the primary. In 2018- he won 62 percent to 38 percent against a person who didnt even have a website about their policies. This time around though, he is going to get a real challenger as Andy Kim is going to run against him who is already a congressman and was one of the people cleaning up after the capitol riots. He is pretty well liked.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Kim_(politician)

Kim has a decent chance to win as a lot of people in New Jersey are getting sick of his crap

He will most likely only agree to resign if the charges are dropped.
