Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and as
0:04
Republicans are calling it quits in Congress, Ken Buck, Gallagher, well now we
0:09
have a Democrat senator he's calling it quits. Before we get started please make
0:14
sure you like, comment, share and subscribe. Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. You know too often it
0:22
seems that Democrats get away with everything right? They don't face punishment, they don't get removed from Congress or the Senate like George
0:30
Santos did. Nobody here is defending George Santos but let's be honest this
0:35
doesn't happen to Democrats. That's what people complain about. Well finally one
0:39
senator who is in the middle of a ton of controversy saying no he will not
0:43
compete in the Democrat primary or try to get the Democrat nomination for the
0:47
Senate in New Jersey again and that is of course Senator Bob Menendez. However
0:53
Menendez did leave open the possibility of campaigning as a quote independent
0:58
Democrat end quote and I think that's just more a way to secure money for his
1:03
legal bills if you ask my opinion. But he made the announcement yesterday and I
1:09
think you know it's beyond that at this point. Not just not seeking re-election
1:13
he's got to be removed. This guy's a national security threat in my opinion
1:17
and the opinion of a lot of people including John Fetterman. So I want you
1:22
to listen to what he says and then see how he tries to cloak and dagger it. In my opinion not really it's kind of a jerky move to basically leave open the
1:30
possibility of bilking donors to pay off his legal bills. But let me know what you
1:35
think when you like, comment, share, and subscribe. I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain
1:39
America. We love you guys. God bless you. Take care everybody. It has been an honor of a lifetime to represent you in the United States
1:48
Senate. If you told me growing up poor in a tenement in Union City, the son of
1:53
refugees, the first of my family to go to college, that I could grow up to be one
1:58
of 100 United States Senators in a country of 330 million people, well I
2:03
probably wouldn't have believed it. But it is the promise of America fulfilled
2:08
It's that history and that promise for the future that I would want to bring to
2:14
a re-election for the United States Senate. Unfortunately the present accusations I am facing, of which I am innocent and will prove so, will not
2:24
allow me to have that type of dialogue and debate with political opponents that
2:29
have already made it the cornerstone of their campaign. New Jerseyans deserve
2:34
better than that. You deserve to hear from those who wish to represent you
2:38
about what they would do for you and your families in the future. Therefore I
2:43
will not file for the Democratic primary this June. I am hopeful that my
2:48
exoneration will take place this summer and allow me to pursue my candidacy as
2:53
an independent Democrat in the general election. This would allow me the time to
2:57
not only remind New Jerseyans of how I've succeeded in being your champion
3:02
but how we will secure our financial futures, meet the challenges of raising a
3:07
family, owning a home, provide for a college education, and secure a more
3:12
peaceful world for all of us to live in. I know many of you are hurt and
3:18
disappointed in me with the accusations I'm facing. Believe me, I am disappointed
3:23
at the false accusations as well. All I can ask of you is to withhold judgment
3:29
until justice takes place. Until then, I will continue to work my heart out each
3:36
and every day as I have for the past 19 years to fight for New Jersey, for you
3:41
your family, and a more prosperous, secure future. May God bless you and may
3:47
He continue to bless these United States of America
