New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez says he won't resign
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and several congressional Democrats have called for the Democratic senator's resignation after his indictment was unsealed.
You're viewing a single thread.
And why should he?
Were he a republican, he'd turn his corruption into a campaign slogan. Indictments would only make him more electable.
Oh, he took bribes? We have a SC justice that has been whoring himself out to right-wing special interests for years and won't even pretend to be sorry about it.
So fuck it, Bob. Take them bribes. Everyone else is doing it so why can't you?
Because we're not them
This. He needs to resign.
I agree, but this shouldn't stop us from throwing Thomas in their faces when they bring this up.
You’ve lost the plot. Representatives are there to serve the people.
Oh, he's serving people. Some people more than others.
The Republicans have a congressman that literally made up his entire resume. Education, previous work experience, all of it. Complete fiction. Aaaaaand when he was caught red handed, did he quit? Resign? Nope.
Even when the feds caught up with him with indictments for fraud and money laundering, did he quit then? Not a chance.
Not only is he still a sitting member of the House... THE DUDE IS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION.
So, why the hell are the Democrats the only ones that have to hold themselves to any sort of moral or ethical principles? The GOP sure as hell don't. Just ask Mr. 91 Indictments Primary Front Runner yourself.
Yeah bruh, fuck that. He’s a fucking criminal. Lock him the fuck up. And I write that as someone who detests the republican traitor filth.
Of course he's a criminal. Put him on trial, give him his due process, and then toss him in hole so he can serve his debt to society.
But we're not talking about trying him. The question was: Should he resign?
My argument is that he should resign the exact second Santos a Thomas do and not a moment before.
I another reality, charges like this ended careers. Now they lead to landslide GOP primary wins. Fucking disgusting.
Your moral relativism is repugnant.
Watching the GOP field criminals as "candidates" and then continuing to support them when all their crimes come to light is the repugnant part.
Maybe he's flirting with a party change
