Schumer supported the expulsion of George Santos from the chamber he doesn't control. The (D)iffe(R)ence is so subtle! https://t.co/t30NWMAjpn https://t.co/nIlRjnpj5P

Q: Should Sen. Menendez resign? SCHUMER: "I'm very disappointed" Q: "Why are you OK with him serving in your caucus, sitting on committees, attending classified briefings when he's been charged with bribery, conspiracy, and obstruction..." SCHUMER: "I'm deeply disappointed" https://t.co/RfiVd6rgvj
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sidesteps repeated questions about Bob Menendez. Asked him why it’s OK to have some charged with bribery, obstruction, conspiracy to serve on committees, in his caucus and attend classified briefings. “The Senate has standards, we should all…
Schumer gives same answer 3 times after questions about Menendez being indicted for bribery & obstruction: “The bottom line is as I've said the Senate has certain standards that we must live up to. I am very disappointed that Senator Menendez has not lived up to those standards”
Schumer on Menendez. Says virtually the same thing three times when asked: The Senate has standards. I’m disappointed..He has not lived up to those standards
It’s insane that Menendez hasn’t been expelled at this point. The evidence is so overwhelming that leaving him in a position of influence and access is beyond irresponsible. https://t.co/y653rEpmji
House GOP expelled George Santos after his indictment. His vote was valuable, but they did it anyway. Yet this guy remains a voting member of the slim Dem Senate majority, even as far more serious charges pile up. Spare me “country over party” lectures from these people. https://t.co/WfP25HNT9R
Prosecutors say U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez had attorneys tell investigators they thought payments made by a businessman and another defendant on a home mortgage and a car were loans. The say Menendez knew they were bribes. The senator denies any wrongdoing. ⤵ https://t.co/MyYkYf4X1W
The Biden DOJ is only going after Senator Bob Menendez because Menendez is fighting for us. Besides, he's a sitting Senator. He needs immunity to do his job. Without immunity, he can be indicted anytime he does something Biden doesn't like. That's how this all works, right?
To all the Democrats who voted to kick out Santos, its your turn now Senator Bob Menendez (D-Gold Bars) indicted AGAIN
Fetterman on the new Menendez changes: “He’s an epic sleazeball... So sleazeballs gonna sleazeball.” He says senators have decided they want to keep Menendez around, but that it won’t be for long. “I dare him to run for re-election.” https://t.co/FQZUCpcdbI
Why aren’t @TheDemocrats doing the right thing and expelling Sen. Menendez? They got rid of @georgesantos for WAY LESS! The @DNC is the party of corruption & rot! https://t.co/FQVOaeIhNK
If Sen. Menendez had any honor, he’d resign. If Chuck Schumer had any respect for the Senate, he’d move to expel Menendez immediately. https://t.co/EAAUiEK35R
If you thought the allegations of corruption against New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez couldn’t go any deeper, you clearly aren’t accustomed to hiding gold bars in your sock drawer. Story: https://t.co/Y5olRE3AtZ https://t.co/7zmf1Kuwbj
Republicans kicked out George Santos but Democrats haven't even removed a literal foreign agent from Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee https://t.co/9XALegNJpY
Don’t see how there’s any doubt that an impeachment of Sen. Menendez would not gain close to 100% support in the House & in the Senate. There’s no partisan or other argument now to defend his agency to stay on whole awaiting trials. This’s too much…he’s gotta go & right quick.
Sen. Bob Menendez, his wife, and their former partners now face 18 criminal charges -- including for conduct from within the last *six months* -- but the Democrats who demanded George Santos be expelled are mostly silent on him staying in Congress. https://t.co/be7voveVyu
