A woman who served as a juror during New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez’s federal corruption trial attended his victory party after he won re-election Tuesday.
Evelyn Arroyo-Maultsby, of Hillside, N.J., was among those seen in the crowd at a ballroom in a Hoboken hotel who celebrated Menendez’s win over Republican businessman Bob Hugin, NJ.com reported. Last year, she made headlines after she voiced her support for Menendez, calling him a good man.
"They are just trying to throw a good man under the bus," Arroyo-Maultsby told NJ.com in November 2017.
Arroyo-Maultsby was dismissed from the case so she could go on a pre-arranged vacation to the Bahamas.
She told the North Jersey Record Tuesday night that she went to the party because the senator was “a great man” and voted for him. She also showed off her Menendez for Senate T-shirt to the reporter.

Menendez, 64, was put on trial in 2017 over his cozy relationship with an eye doctor and party donor, who he was accused of accepting bribes from in exchange for his political influence.
There were wild tales of hookers, private jets and lavish overseas vacations — all of which Hugin, 64, tried to capitalize on, even though Menendez was never convicted thanks to a hung jury.
Still, the Senate Ethics Committee formally admonished Menendez over his relationship with the doctor, saying the politician “knowingly and repeatedly accepted gifts of significant value’’ and “failed to publicly disclose certain gifts as required by senate rule and federal law.’’
Democratic NJ Gov. Phil Murphy didn’t even want to campaign for Menendez, political insiders told The Post last month. ...”

Florida nearly elected a gov. thats the mayor of the city with the highest murder rate in Fla. and is currently under FBI investigation.....boggles my mind what motivates some people to vote for who they vote for.
Only in NJ...not many politicians can say they had their corruption trial juror/supporter at their reelection victory bash.
Dirty Jersey.
this dude will live to be 85 like McStain and remain in office the entire time.
That’s how the dems roll.
Steal from the tax payers, whore around with underage girls, and win re-election by a mile. Shades of Marion Barry.
Race, party, personality, media brainwashing
Hey, it’s Joisey. Ya know wut I’m sayin’? Hey.......
This election demonstrates that the US is headed down the same path as England, France, Sweden, etc.
President Trump will make the decline slower over the next few years, but the eventual slide to mediocrity is not preventable.
The combination of our education system and our news media
has resulted in a general population of political and economic morons.
Who else would vote for Kieth Ellison, who is only an example of the typical liberal?
“D.C. mayor, Marion] Barry was released from prison in 1992, and two months later filed papers to run for the Ward 8 city council seat in that year’s election.[72]
Barry ran under the slogan “He May Not Be Perfect, But He’s Perfect for D.C.”
He defeated the four-term incumbent, Wilhelmina Rolark, in the Democratic primary, winning 70 percent of the vote”

My wife and I were just saying we are glad we’re going to be dead when the worst of it hits home. As for our kids, frankly, they deserve what they get.
Guillum also. Apparently character doesn’t mean spit any more.
ahh, Jersey. Why would it ever change?
Words are insufficient to explain this colossal jewel of ignorance.

I’m sure the ‘Socialist Media Networks’ will come up with a word or two to describe their primary targeted occupants and users.
Ah yes, Marion Barry. Folks tend to vote for someone they can relate to..?
I mostly remember Howard Stern going off on him for seemingly his entire morning show once. Every time I came back out to the truck there he was..
