A)Menendez is a centrist
B)We expect all New Jersey politicians to be corrupt
C)He has been indicted, and no one is defending him or complaining about witch hunts. The DOJ is doing its job
The double standard you’re complaining about doesn’t exist

Lol. They truly believe this.
On the other hand, when Democrats get in trouble with the law, we're mostly fine with letting the investigation play out and any crimes proven to have happened should be punished. If this guy took bribes? Punish him for it. There's no bellyaching about a "Witch hunt" like you have with hypocrites on the right.
