Assemblywoman Timberlake To Hugin And DeCroce: ‘Menendez Isn’t Going Anywhere’; ‘The Hypocrisy Of Republicans Like BettyLou DeCroce Cannot Be Ignored’
“It does not matter how many people Bob Hugin asks to carry his water; Senator Menendez isn’t going anywhere. Senator Menendez is a champion for the people of New Jersey, and we need him in Washington fighting for us. Senator Menendez ensured seniors pay less for their prescriptions and health centers have the funding they need to treat everyone who comes through their doors. He has made access to higher education a priority and is working to make community college free who everyone. He knows that a better, more fair economy will mean more opportunities for all of us.
The hypocrisy of Republicans like BettyLou DeCroce cannot be ignored. Time and time again, Republicans in the State Legislature sat in collective silence watching Chris Christie, and Donald Trump hurt New Jersey. Due to a petty political vendetta, Republicans collectively worked to end the investigations that discovered members of the Christie administration closed access to the world’s busiest bridge. They supported Donald Trump even after videos of him casually describing sexual assault were made public. They cannot bring themselves to denounce the indefensible, like Parker Space’s embrace of the Confederate flag or Steve Lonegan’s homophobic slurs.
Republicans like BettyLou DeCroce do not understand that New Jerseyans are concerned about real issues affecting their everyday lives. People care about fixing the damage caused by Donald Trump and Chris Christie, not political games. They know that no one has worked harder for them than Bob Menendez and they are going to send him back to Washington in November.”
