Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer told Breitbart News that the facts don't all add up in New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez’s story when it comes to his reimbursement of flights aboard a Democratic mega-donor's private jet.

Spicer specifically questions the issues surrounding how Menendez paid such a huge chunk out of his pocket for the flights. “The notion that anyone would have spent such a massive percent of their assets on previously unreported flights until it was discovered begs countless questions,” Spicer said in an email. On Tuesday, the National Journal reported that Menendez spent up to 87 percent of his entire wealth to pay back campaign donor Dr. Salomon Melgen for two 2010 flights to the Dominican Republic. Menenedez has admitted to three such flights aboard Melgen’s jet and claims all three occurred in 2010.

“When Robert Menendez arrived in the U.S. Senate in 2006, he was a relative pauper in a chamber often called a millionaires’ club,” National Journal’s Shane Goldmacher reported.

nice headline...

The repayment amounts to between 32 percent and 87 percent of the assets Menendez reported holding in bank accounts and stock, according to his latest financial-disclosure form, which was filed last year.

Menendez is a TYPICAL DEMOCRAT....a LIAR, CHEAT and FORNICATOR of YOUNG GIRLS!!

Either he is hiding an awful lot of money stolen from the taxpayers of Hudson County, or he knows that sex tourism with underage prostitutes carries a minimum sentence of 30 years.

Boinking under-aged Dominican prostitutes don’t come cheap.

Another case of a guy thinking with his little head, and not his big head.

His position on offshore drilling is quite apparent, too.
