Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called on Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., to resign on Sunday, saying the indictment against her fellow Democrat is “extremely serious.”
AOC made the comments during a Sunday appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” with host Margaret Brennan. Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., appeared on the same show and admitted that the charges against Menendez were “serious and shocking,” but he fell short of calling for his colleague’s resignation.
“The situation is quite unfortunate, but I do believe that it is in the best interest for Sen. Menendez to resign in this moment. As you mentioned, consistency matters. It shouldn’t matter whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat,” AOC said.
Excellent write-up
