Convicted felon and former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez fought back tears while describing his legacy as one of “breaking down barriers,” denying that it entailed breaking laws as well.
Despite his 16-count conviction last month for trading the power of his office for lucrative bribes, an emotional Menendez claimed he will leave behind a “good legacy.”
“My legacy is one of breaking down barriers,” Menendez told Spanish-American language broadcaster Noticias Univision, per a translation.
“A legacy is planting seeds to create a tree where you won’t sit under it. That’s a legacy. And in that sense, we have sown and planted so many seeds, which I know is a good legacy.”
