Bob Menendez plays race card, blames conservatives for scandals

At a Black History Month event held at a Trenton, N.J. church on Sunday, Democratic Senator Bob Menendez blamed conservatives for his ethics scandals, framing them as a racial attack on him because of his Hispanic heritage. “I have felt the sting of discrimination,” he told approximately 300 worshipers, according to the Bergen Record. ”It has never been easy.”

“Now we face anonymous, faceless, nameless individuals from right-wing sources seeking to destroy a lifetime of work,” Menendez said at Shiloh Baptist Church.

If they're destroying YOUR "lifetime's work" then more power to them!

This thing is now entering its terminal phases -- the "I'm the victim here!" phase. He's not long for this political world.

He’s still pushing the “nameless, faceless” narrative I see. Makes it easier to lie when you deliberately prevent people from seeing the actual accusations.

yep, I can see this. It’s all the CONSERVATIVE movement, behind this. No one despises him because of his LIFE STYLE, it’s only his skin color. GOOD job, playing the RACE CARD, but it doesn’t work that way any more because so much of America is MIXED race.

Hispanic heritage you say? Let’s see your green card. The party of illegal immigration brought unwanted scrutiny on themselves by erasing the southern border. Now anyone who remotely looks hispanic will be under the spotlight. And all of the US citzens of hispanic heritage can thank the democrats, the mexican government, LaRaza, drug cartels, employers of illegals, and illegals themselves for painting a target on them. Sorry, but the gringos have had enough, and the legal hispanics will just become collateral damage.

if patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel

then “racism” is the FIRST refuge of every liberal scoundrel.

That should appeal to low-information voters.

Who were the brain trusts at Shiloh Baptist Church that gave this pedophile a platform to spew this trash?

I have to assume this is a loonie left “church” rather than a real house of worship.

a liberal device further conveniently subdivided so that a “white Hispanic” like Zimmerman doesn’t get a pass

I was waiting for all the evidence to come in (as I always do) before I made any decision about his guilt or innocence in this matter. However, now that he’s played the race card I’m sure he’s guilty.

"And their smears are false. I have worked too hard and too long in the vineyards, too long with my hands, for the harvest to be soured."

I suspect that with you, Bob, the girls were doing most of the work. Although I don't doubt you were working with your hands.

The Menendez family emigrated from Cuba. Most Cubans came from Spain. How can someone that can trace their ancestry back to Spain (last time I checked, it was part of Europe), claim to be a minority? Are Spaniards not considered White?
