GOP Senator Mocked For Saying Bob Menendez Should NOT Resign

GOP Senator Mocked For Saying Bob Menendez Should NOT Resign

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) this week mounted an unexpected defense of Sen. Bob Menendez, the New Jersey Democrat recently indicted on extensive bribery charges.

Menendez faces allegations that he accepted various bribes, including $480,000 in cash and $100,000 in gold bars, in return for improperly using his influence to benefit and enrich several New Jersey businessmen.

Although many of Menendez’s Democratic colleagues have suggested he resign, no Republican senators have called on him to step down, according to Business Insider.

In fact, on Tuesday, Cotton implored Menendez to remain in office.

In two posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, Cotton said that while the charges against Menendez “are serious and troubling,” he feels Menendez “should be judged by jurors and New Jersey’s voters, not by Democratic politicians who now view him as inconvenient to their hold on power.”

The charges against Senator Menendez are serious and troubling. At the same time, the Department of Justice has a troubling record of failure and corruption in cases against public figures, from Ted Stevens to Bob McDonnell to Donald Trump to Bob Menendez the last time around.

— Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) September 26, 2023

Senator Menendez has a right to test the government’s evidence in court, just like any other citizen. He should be judged by jurors and New Jersey’s voters, not by Democratic politicians who now view him as inconvenient to their hold on power.

— Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) September 26, 2023

On one hand, it might appear as if Cotton is reminding his followers that Menendez, like all Americans, is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

But many people had other interpretations of Cotton’s posts (which may or may not have been ghostwritten).

R’s want D’s tied to corruption/political crime as much as possible, so they can pretend there’s little difference on that front for 2024. But D’s uniformly calling on Menendez to resign—and R’s coming out *to support him*—shows the stark difference. https://t.co/J9RnpFyAY8

That Republicans so consistently defend and apologize for corrupt Republicans is unfortunate but perhaps comprehensible, that they then go to bat for corrupt Democrats to avoid admitting that their adversaries believe in good government is just sick. https://t.co/RfkRamo6Gx

Democrats want an allegedly crooked Democratic senator to resign. Republicans don’t want him to resign because they’re the party of crooks. https://t.co/ySTQovIH5h

Republicans usually: Democrats are all criminals whose corruption is causing America’s decline on behalf of nefarious foreign influences, throw them all out of office!

13 Senators calling for Bob Menendez to resign:

John Fetterman
Sherrod Brown
Peter Welch
Tammy Baldwin
Jon Tester
Bob Casey
Elizabeth Warren
Jacky Rosen
Martin Heinrich
Cory Booker
Mark Kelly
Michael Bennet
Amy Klobuchar

No Republicans. Tom Cotton actually *defending* Menendez: https://t.co/OT3F9f8uWv

You just want him to hang in because he makes the Dems look bad, and because he is a distraction from the rampant corruption and general insanity in your own ranks. Be honest.

— Russ Baker (@RealRussBaker) September 26, 2023

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) also defended Menendez’s “presumption of innocence,” saying “I don’t think he should resign” and lamenting that “the media has to stop acting like everybody is guilty before they’re even judged by a jury.”

Again, the person speaking here is George Santos.
