Disgraced Senator Bob Menendez announced that he will continue to embarrass New Jerseyans by seeking reelection, ensuring that his grossly unethical behavior remains in the news throughout the 2018 election.
While Menendez was able to dodge a prison term for allegedly accepting bribes from convicted Medicare fraudster Salomon Melgen after his case ended in a mistrial, the ethically challenged Senator still faces an investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee. By choosing to seek reelection with such a cloud hanging over his head, it’s clear that Bob Menendez’s only concern is his own political career.
“A federal jury was unable to come to a decision on disgraced Senator Bob Menendez’s corruption case, but New Jersey voters will have the final word,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “Menendez has embarrassed New Jersey for too long, and Garden State voters will send him packing on Dr. Melgen’s jet this November.”
