This is the second time that Sen. Bob Menendez has been indicted for corruption. He needs to resign and allow Gov. Murphy to fill that vacancy with someone who does right by the people of New Jersey.

See how easy that is to say, GOP?

@charlotteclymer

Indictments have become a badge of honor for Republicans. It's their way of proving to their base that they're so powerful they can ignore "rules and traditions", and their voters eat that up.

@charlotteclymer yeah it's easy to assume he's not exactly in this for the right reasons though so I don't see it happening.
@charlotteclymer doesn't sound like Menendez is willing to step down.
@charlotteclymer also tell the people who continue to vote for him

@charlotteclymer Notice that NOT ONE Democrat is saying "Witch Hunt."
NOT ONE Democrat is saying "Fake News."
NOT ONE Democrat is calling for the prosecution to be defunded.
NOT ONE Democrat is looking for a pardon for him.

You're right. Ethics, morality and honor are qualities that don't seem to exist in the GOP.

@charlotteclymer Because the Senate is a hierarchy of geriatricism. If you lose a committee seat, you risk losing the majority.

For instance, Sen. Feinstein's carcass is rolled in and out to vote on judicial nominations. Replacing her on the committee needs 60 votes, and the GOP would never do that--to prevent anymore Biden nominations to the federal judiciary.

@charlotteclymer Menendez should have become a supreme court judge if he wanted to collect bribes without repercussions.
@charlotteclymer Absolutely. He needs to go.
