Our Senator Menendez refuses to bow out despite the corruption charges that he's facing. His defense is basically a Trump level conspiracy theory. He claims that the charges against him are vengeance from Barack Obama for the times that he spoke out against him. And the reasons he spoke out against Obama are nothing to be proud of, either. He attacked Obama from the right on the Iran deal and the normalization of relations with Cuba. I'm not saying he should be persecuted by the Justice department for that (if that was the case it would be an outrage) but it shouldn't exactly get Democrats rallying to defend him, either.
