Brain injured Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman was the first U.S. Senator to call for the resignation of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) in light of the legal problems he and his lovely wife Nadine, and three NJ businessmen are facing on federal corruption charges.
Rather than returning the money in a normal, conventional way, Fetterman wants to return the cash in envelopes filled with hundred dollar bills, or as anti-Semite Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) would call them, "Benjamins."
"Senator Menendez should resign. He’s entitled to the presumption of innocence, but he cannot continue to wield influence over national policy, especially given the serious and specific nature of the allegations," Fetterman ironically posted with the help of a computer program on Saturday. "I hope he chooses an honorable exit and focuses on his trial."
Menendez’s leadership committee, New Millennium PAC, slipped Fetterman’s Senate campaign $5,000 just weeks before the cognitively impaired Democrat won his Pennsylvania Senate seat in 2022, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission.
“We are in process of returning the money,” said Joe Calvello, a mentally functioning spokesman for Fetterman, “in envelopes stuffed with $100 bills.”
The move is a call-back to Menendez and his wife Nadine being indicted Friday on federal charges of engaging in "a corrupt relationship with three New Jersey associates and businessmen."

The indictment was dramatic, featuring allegations of bribes paid by a shiny, new Mercedes-Benz C-300 convertible, gold bars valued at more than $100,000, and stacks of one-hundred-dollar bills atop a jacket with Menendez’s name on it, which kind of sounds fishy.
Menendez has predictably denied any wrongdoing, and said so again at a New Jersey press conference on Monday.

After Fetterman called for him to resign, the senator’s team began working to give Menendez’s alleged dirty money back.
On Monday, according to Calvello, Fetterman’s campaign started the process of returning the money, even before a trial has been conducted and in spite of the "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law" thingy.
It is unclear whether they will be able to make the transfer via envelopes stuffed with hundred-dollar bills, but the spokesman said that was Fetterman’s desire or so it seems.
