Senator Bob Menendez (D--NJ) has been convicted of 16 corruption charges by a jury, related to him accepting bribes and acting as an unregistered foreign agent of governments like that of Egypt.
To save face, several Dems have publicly called on him to resign, though it goes without saying that they privately wish he doesn't, given how slim their Senate majority is at this time.

Anyway, discuss.

He’s not going to resign. He’s running as an Indy for Senate from New Jersey. Hopefully he plays spoiler

Biden's weaponized DOJ strikes again.

The fact that they at the very least feel they have to pretend to care about this speaks to what their base values. Meanwhile the candidate on the other side of the aisle gets convicted and they support him even more. It really says something about the difference between the two sides.

Those base values are to hold on to power by any means?

I don't know what this means. Al Franken resigned for taking an inappropriate picture with a female staffer. Trump is a civilly liable rapist and that only pushed MAGA more firmly towards him. They're not the same.

If you're talking about Menendez, he's refusing to resign which I can understand based on the insane double standards here but his political career is over because of this, he does not have a shot at reelection. Turns out democratic voters really don't like convicted felons. One would figure that sentiment be felt more strongly in the party that peaches law and order, but words on that side couldn't be more empty.

You can feel that way all you want, but you'd need argument if you wish to present yourself as being reasonable here. So far all I've seen from anyone who has tried to push this narrative is projection.

It was rigged against him. He did absolutely nothing wrong. The Justice Department has been weaponized.

Is what MAGA MORONS would say if Menendez was a Republican

Democrats called on him to resign because that is the right thing to do. Because Democrats live in reality. Because Democrats can look at the facts and see the guy is guilty. Unlike the MAGA MORONS.
