Menendez deserves jail. I don't care what his politics are, he betrayed his office and constituents and his country for personal gain.

Bob Menendez in 2020: “we’re gonna put Trump in jail 😏”

Bob Menendez in 2025: “Please pardon me Trump 😢”

[bergtheth]

But this network kept telling me that the democrats were the good party.

[tsaints]

People need to learn their history. This isn't the first time he was federal charges with this crime. He should have learn and gotten a wake up call before

DEMOCRAT senator sentenced to 11 years in prison.

Keep in mind that Bob accused Trump of being a foreign Karma is a b****

I wanted to join Maga but they said I had too many teeth.

This is rare, he must have not given the big guy 10% of his spoils. This is a good example of the reason we need term limits, most of all of them are corrupt!

My therapist recommended that I stay off line to help with my meltdowns. I just don't know how!😔

[mattm]

So MSNBC makes this guy to be a hero? Sounds hypocritical

[gregtraver]

How many lives has he ruined in all those years? What a spectacularly corrupt public official. Now it's time to go after the rest of the swamp. Follow the money trail.

His daughter Alicia, who hates Trump, is gonna love Trump and beg him to grant clemency to her daddy. Politics does make strange bedfellows.

[peege]

MSNBC isn't going to make Alicia Menendez report on her dad's sentencing, are they?

[digisensei]

He said the gold bars are his wife's 😂

[Felonious-Inebrience]

He won't get it, he voted to impeach Trump twice 😂 Had he stood up for Trump he may have got clemency.

[NHLblkgurl]

Fetterman admitting to his own party’s treasonous lawfare? LOL

[JuveDeNile]

Won't see the light of day ever again, GOOD!

[Keystoneliberty]

Ironically He Was Supposed To Get A Pardon From Sleepy Joe, I Guess Bob Menendez Should Have Been On The January 6 Committee To Get A Pardon Sucks To Be Him!!!

Corruptions they need to be addressed. Politicians become millionaires while in office. Why, we all know why.😢
