While the evidence against Senator Bob Menendez seems damning, are charges of corruption even allowed to be filed during Hispanic Heritage Month?
As you are all no doubt amply aware, we are still in the thick of Hispanic Heritage Month, a 31-day window of time wherein Latinos get to do whatever we want without fear of repercussions. Or, so it should be.
In any case, Sen. Menendez is totally right. These indictments and the ensuing calls for him to resign are obviously rooted in anti-Latino sentiment, and I think it’s about time I utilized my platform to call it out. What is the point, after all, of broad identity categories like “Latino” if I can’t baselessly defend some weird guy I’ve never met and hadn’t heard of until 10 minutes ago?and take a look at the allegations. They can’t be that bad. It says here that Sen.
All right, so it seems as though Mr. Menendez stands accused of receiving gifts and cash in exchange for doing favors for an Egyptian American businessman and for the government of Egypt. Because God forbid we encourage Latino and Egyptian solidarity, I guess.
