“The only way to hold the corrupt political establishment accountable is to repudiate Menendez directly at the ballot box”
Today, Mendham Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner, the frontrunner for the GOP nomination to run against Sen. Bob Menendez, released the following statement in response to a poll showing that 70% of New Jerseyans think Menendez should resign.
"New Jerseyans have lost faith in Bob Menendez. That's understandable -- I've been saying for some time that New Jersey deserves better than corrupt machine politicians who prioritize their own interests over the good of the people. But Gold Bar Bob's resignation wouldn't solve the underlying problem. In fact, it would likely make things worse. Bob Menendez has been openly corrupt for decades, but his cronies in the Democratic Party stood by and enabled him as long as they thought it would benefit them politically. Now that he's become a political liability to them, they want to cast him off and act like the never had anything to do with him. But New Jerseyans know better.
"Sweeping Menendez and his corrupt deeds under the carpet does not make for a sudden miracle of integrity to our legislative office, it just gives his Democrat enablers cover to continue to hide their own bad doings. The Democrat establishment backed him for years, and their hands are as dirty as his. The only way to hold the corrupt political establishment accountable is to repudiate Menendez directly at the ballot box, and make his cronies cringe as they watch the people pass verdict on everything that's wrong with politics as usual."
