petersuberI'm a #Democrat and disavow fellow Dem #BobMenendez. He's an embarrassment and should resign from the Senate. He should have a fair trial, and if he's found guilty, he should be punished.
#Republicans: See, it's not hard.
Update. Senator #BobMenendez (D-NJ) was just found guilty on all counts, among them bribery, extortion, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice.

Fellow #Democrats are already calling on him to resign from the Senate, preparing to expel him if he doesn't, and showing #Republicans how to #DrainTheSwamp.

Bravo to fellow #Democrats for demanding his resignation. They didn't say the trial was politically motivated. Didn't say his crimes were privileged. Didn't lobby for a pardon. Didn't deny the facts. Just wanted to drain the swamp. A lesson to #Republicans.
Update. I'm a #Democrat and disavow fellow Dem #BobMenendez. He's corrupt, hurt his constituents, and deserves his criminal punishment.
