How will Democrats defend Sen. Menendez in the underage hooker scandal -- other than by ignoring it?
New Jersey Democratic Senator Robert Menendez has been allegedly caught in a sex scandal involving underage prostitutes, according to published sources.
Senator Menendez, who is divorced, allegedly used taxpayer dollars to pay for the hookers from the Dominican Republic.
News of the scandal broke late Wednesday night on The Drudge Report, and was later reported in full Thursday morning from The Daily Caller.
Senator Menendez would allegedly fly down to the Dominican Republic and have orgies with the underage prostitutes. It is claimed that not only did he have sex with them, but the senator helped direct them to other politicians. It is not known who the others in question are.
The allegations are being made from two of the prostitutes, who felt they were underpaid by the senator. The girls were able to positively identify Senator Menendez when shown a picture of him. It is not known if more women are going to step forward.
The scandal is also drawing in campaign donor Salomon Melgen, an
ophthalmologist and owner of an eye clinic in Florida. Melgen has
donated $14,700 to Senator Menendez’s campaigns since 1993, according to
federal records.
Menendez spokeswoman Tricia Enright said in an e-mail she would not respond to “a completely false accusation.”
Senator Menendez is the Junior Senator from New Jersey. He was first appointed to fill the seat in January 2006 when it was vacated by Jon Corzine, and was then elected to his own full six-year term in the 2006 U.S. Senate election.
Senator Menendez is currently up for re-election to a second full term. His challenger is Republican Joseph Kyrillos.
