Sen. Bob Menendez finds himself in hot water yet again as he and his wife have been hit with bribery charges by the Department of Justice. It seems Menendez just can’t catch a break when it comes to allegations of corruption. The indictment claims that the senator received an array of gifts and campaign contributions in exchange for wielding his political influence. It’s a classic case of “I scratch your back, you scratch mine,” or in this situation, “I scratch your palm, you scratch my vote.” Menendez, who represents New Jersey, now faces the possibility of facing consequences for his actions.

While corruption scandals in politics may seem like a dime a dozen, Menendez’s repeated run-ins with the law make him an unfortunate standout in the world of questionable ethics. Let’s hope this serves as a reminder for other politicians to stay on the straight and narrow path, or at least be more discreet about their alleged shenanigans. The hashtag #MenendezMischief is sure to make waves on social media as people follow this latest chapter in the senator’s never-ending saga.
