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

The Daily Caller reported late Sunday night that a long-time female escort identified Menendez as a former customer who paid for sex, and who has been an active “hobbyist” in the sex trade since at least 2008.

What a total fucking lowlife scumbag Democrat. Redundant, I know

It's Conservatives fault he likes 16 year old pussy

The women accusing him are not white or conservative. They aren't even Americans.

Can you picture a republican senator who did what Menendez did? Gloria Allred would be all up in it by now. She'd have every hooker on her A-list.

Oh yes...it's the Right's fault that you are a corrupt piece of shit.

Menendez....go out with at least an ounce of dignity for cryin out loud.

Anyone seen "House of Cards" on Netflix? Regardless of how this turns it seems like it would fit right in as a plot in that show.
