Robert Menendez, “Democratic” Warmonger

Here’s the thing about these glib Nazi comparisons being made in American
politics today. If there’s anyone in America right now who deserves to be
compared to Nazi war criminals, it’s the people in Washington running U.S.
foreign policy. In this Administration. And the last one. And the one
before that. Consider this. Suppose you live outside the Washington
Beltway, and suppose that the people who make and run U.S. foreign policy
are not part of your social circle. Think about everyone you know. People
you work with, people you go to school with, your friends and their
friends, your relatives, your neighbors. Now think about the people you
know personally whom you like the least. The most rude, the most obnoxious,
the most arrogant, the most inconsiderate. Which of these people is
responsible for voluntarily and deliberately killing innocent human beings?
Maybe you know somebody who killed an innocent person by accident. That’s
awful. Maybe more care could have avoided that. But the people in
Washington running U.S. foreign policy are voluntarily, deliberately
killing innocent human beings all the time, every day, all day, 24/7/365,
often breaking U.S. and international law to do so, without ever facing any
sanction or penalty. And the worst offenders are the people driving the
train for screaming about long-dead Fidel Castro now. Let’s take a look at
corrupt New Jersey “Democratic” Senator Robert Menendez. He’s so corrupt
that he was indicted and prosecuted for corruption by the Justice
Department during the Obama Administration, and he only got off because his
lawyers successfully argued that the Justice Department anti-corruption
lawyers didn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that his corruption was
illegal. Menendez, top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee –
same slot Biden was occupying when he did more than any other Democrat to
enable Bush’s fraudulent and illegal Iraq war - voted against Obama’s Iran
deal, Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement, one of only four
Democratic Senators to do so. Menendez didn’t just vote against Obama’s
Iran deal; he argued vociferously and nastily against it, accusing Obama’s
Secretary of State, John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War hero, of parroting
“talking points from Tehran.” When Trump pulled out of Obama’s Iran deal,
Democrats screamed and said Trump was leading us towards war with Iran. You
can’t have it both ways. If Trump is leading us to war with Iran now, then
Menendez was leading us towards war with Iran when he did everything he
could think of to undermine Obama’s Iran deal. In March 2018, Menendez led
the Democratic opposition in the Senate to the Sanders-Lee-Murphy Yemen War
Powers Resolution to end unconstitutional U.S. participation in the
genocidal Saudi war in Yemen. The blood of Yemeni children the U.S.
illegally helped the Saudi regime starve to death is on Robert Menendez’
hands. Why did corrupt Robert Menendez do these terrible things? Because
corrupt Robert Menendez is an AIPAC stooge. Robert Menendez supports and
enables knocking down the homes of innocent Palestinian families in the
West Bank and stealing their land. Of course Robert Menendez doesn’t give a
rat’s behind about “human rights,” duh. The only thing Robert Menendez
cares about is being a bagman for AIPAC.
