The disgraced Democratic senator Bob Menendez is planning on throwing his own wife under the bus because of his criminal trial. According to recent court filings, Menendez lawyers want to paint the wife Nadine as a master manipulator who managed to con the good senator, one of the most powerful men in the Senate. What a bottom feeder. First of all, why don't the Democrats get rid of this guy? They know what a scumbag he is. But nevertheless, they have dinner with him. He shows up. He's one of, you know, let's put our arm around Menendez. He's one of us. Why won't they?

He's showing up and voting every day.

He's actually voting, and he's, this guy is a criminal from way back. He was acquitted one time. He just barely got by. No, it was a hung jury, wasn't it?

A hung jury, a hung jury.

It was a hung jury. Wasn't even an acquittal. Same kind of thing. This time we got him with gold bars, got money sewn into his jackets, buying cars. It's just the worst thing ever. Now he's saying, I was so unsophisticated that I got manipulated by my evil wife, Nadine. I mean, come on.

You know, he better hope that she ends up getting locked away forever because if he goes to court and makes that argument, uh, he's not ever gonna wanna face her again. I know if I ever blamed my wife for anything, even something like, hey, you forgot to sweep the kitchen when you said you were gonna sweep. Yeah, I'm never gonna hear the end of it. And he's literally going to court, he is in trial right now saying, listen, I'm just a lowly senator who was on the high ranking Foreign Intelligence Committee and what do I know? My wife is out there making these deals and getting these gold bars and all this cash and it's insanity to think that he didn't know this was happening and didn't know what he was doing.

Moreover, his pals, his Democratic pals who won't get rid of him, they understand that some of the information was national security information that was going to Egypt.

Yeah.

He engineered that. But nevertheless, now what is the argument that I'm hearing? Oh, well, they can't do anything. The Democrats can't do anything. Really?

Yeah. And I've heard a lot of people say, well, they are asking for him to resign. No, they're not. Okay. Look, don't say that to somebody who sits here all day consuming political news. I know that there's like one loud voice calling for him to resign and it's John Fetterman.

Fetterman is just, he's up in there.

Most others, which we've sat here and read the quotes from these idiots, well let's let the courts decide what to do.

Okay, well what could they do? There's gotta be, theres ethics folks.

They can oust him. They can hold a vote.

They can vote immediately.

Yeah, expulsion.

Immediately. There's nothing to prevent them from doing that. So don't contact us and say, we didn't have all the facts. Oh yeah baby, we got all the facts. Democrats could do this immediately. But nevertheless, oh, by the way, did you follow this where Santos, so Republicans get rid of Santos, have you followed his latest gig where he's supposed to, he's gonna start doing videos under the name Kitara, where he is a crossdresser drag queen? What's, tell, help me with this. What's that all about? Is there something in his history where he was Kitara the drag queen?

Yeah, he was back in, I think 2005, 2008 ish, somewhere around there. He did do some drag performances. And he's so desperate, by the way, to be in the spotlight.
