Kind of remarkable to think that 30 Senate Democrats rushed to call for @alfranken's resignation a few years ago but far fewer have called for Menendez to quit in light of the raw corruption charges against him spelled out in the latest federal indictment.
@davidaxelrod @alfranken Perhaps because the level of indiscretions tolerated by our society during this era make his accusations seem like small fry. Whatever the reason, it’s an indictment on the very best hopes for our country and virtuous governance.
@davidaxelrod @alfranken Smarter thieves usually accuse each other as the cops show up to distract from themselves. Here, we have a nice roll call as per potential corruption to investigate. Some protest this kind of accountability because they fear it also.
@davidaxelrod @alfranken Franken shouldn’t have resigned. He was guilty of being a comedian trying to be funny. Menendez should resign.
@davidaxelrod @alfranken took them a few days but they got there: x.com/fritschner/sta…

@davidaxelrod @alfranken 24 so far have called for it so far I’ve read
@davidaxelrod @alfranken What Menendez is accused of doing is far worse.
@davidaxelrod @alfranken I guess they find a picture more horrifying than cash and gold bars from criminal behavior stashed throughout one’s home!! 🤦🏾♀️
@davidaxelrod @alfranken “Rushed” = 3 weeks later you are trying to rewrite history
@davidaxelrod @alfranken It’s 26 senators in 4 days for Menendez. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.
