AMERICAN COMMITMENT 09/06/2017 WILL DEMOCRATS ALLOW A FELON TO REMAIN A SENATOR? (hope not!)

Patriots,
Today was the first day of Democratic Senator Bob Menendez’s criminal trial on charges of bribery, conspiracy, and fraud. It started with the judge telling his defense attorney (who was complaining about the judge refusing to put the trial on hold for Bob's Senate schedule) to “shut up” - not generally considered a positive indicator for a defendant.1
So what did Senate Democrats have to say about the massive corruption trial of one of their members?
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was asked if Menendez should resign if he is convicted…and he completely dodged the question.You can watch the video below.

It is obvious why Senate Democrats are refusing to answer our simple question — can a felon convicted of corrupting the office he was elected to uphold serve among them — because they are seriously considering allowing Senator Menendez to remain in the Senate even after he is convicted.
Democrats are all acting like they just aren’t sure whether a convicted felon bribe-taker should stay in the Senate. It didn't use to be a hard question.
In 2008, an official press release from Senate Democrats, which is still on their website, said it clearly: “a convicted felon is not going to be able to serve in the United States Senate.”3
This same standard should apply to Bob Menendez. But will it? Democrats and their media allies are already making clear that it won’t, if they can get away with it.
If you’ve already written to your senators, please forward this email to a friend. And if you receive a reply from your senators, let us know what they say!
Chuck Schumer may think he can dodge our question, but we shouldn't let him or any of the other Senate Democrats. And if they insist on keeping a felonious bribe-taker in the Senate, maybe it’s about time for all of them to go.
Thanks for all you do.
Phil,
