Sen. Robert "Bob" Menendez
|
The Star-Ledger, based in Newark, wrote in an editorial published Wednesday that the Democrat’s lengthy career in politics has been “tarnished forever” by allegations Menendez used his office to help a campaign donor.
From the Newark editorial:
The state needs a respected senator who is focused on his job, not a tarnished defendant who spends his days fending off credible charges of corruption and raising money for his legal defense.
The Asbury Park Press said the issue before Menendez might be “painful,” but it’s not “complicated.” The Asbury editorial says:
You can no longer serve the public with any credibility. Don’t play the aggrieved public figure fighting for justice, and don’t pretend that you have some overarching obligation to your supporters to stay on the job.More: www.onpolitics.usatoday.com
