He's Done - Top Democrat Senator Calls It Quits

Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and as

Republicans are calling it quits in Congress, Ken Buck, Gallagher, well now we

have a Democrat senator he's calling it quits. Before we get started please make

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

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

Santos did. Nobody here is defending George Santos but let's be honest this

doesn't happen to Democrats. That's what people complain about. Well finally one

senator who is in the middle of a ton of controversy saying no he will not

compete in the Democrat primary or try to get the Democrat nomination for the

Senate in New Jersey again and that is of course Senator Bob Menendez. However

Menendez did leave open the possibility of campaigning as a quote independent

Democrat end quote and I think that's just more a way to secure money for his

legal bills if you ask my opinion. But he made the announcement yesterday and I

think you know it's beyond that at this point. Not just not seeking re-election

he's got to be removed. This guy's a national security threat in my opinion

and the opinion of a lot of people including John Fetterman. So I want you

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

possibility of bilking donors to pay off his legal bills. But let me know what you

think when you like, comment, share, and subscribe. I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain

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

Senate. If you told me growing up poor in a tenement in Union City, the son of

refugees, the first of my family to go to college, that I could grow up to be one

of 100 United States Senators in a country of 330 million people, well I

probably wouldn't have believed it. But it is the promise of America fulfilled

It's that history and that promise for the future that I would want to bring to

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

allow me to have that type of dialogue and debate with political opponents that

have already made it the cornerstone of their campaign. New Jerseyans deserve

better than that. You deserve to hear from those who wish to represent you

about what they would do for you and your families in the future. Therefore I

will not file for the Democratic primary this June. I am hopeful that my

exoneration will take place this summer and allow me to pursue my candidacy as

an independent Democrat in the general election. This would allow me the time to

not only remind New Jerseyans of how I've succeeded in being your champion

but how we will secure our financial futures, meet the challenges of raising a

family, owning a home, provide for a college education, and secure a more

peaceful world for all of us to live in. I know many of you are hurt and

disappointed in me with the accusations I'm facing. Believe me, I am disappointed

at the false accusations as well. All I can ask of you is to withhold judgment

until justice takes place. Until then, I will continue to work my heart out each

and every day as I have for the past 19 years to fight for New Jersey, for you

your family, and a more prosperous, secure future. May God bless you and may

He continue to bless these United States of America
