Aguilar, the highest ranking Democrat in the House, took issue with Menendez’s initial response to the indictment, when he suggested he was targeted because he is Latino.
in a hearing Wednesday before a New York magistrate. His wife Nadine, who also is facing charges, and two other defendants pleaded not guilty as well.
After praising Menendez's more than 50 years of public service to the people of New Jersey and lifting up issues Latinos care about, Aguilar said,"It doesn't bring me or any of us joy to say he should resign. I think he should for the betterment of the Democratic Party, for the people of New Jersey. It's better that he fights this trial outside the halls of Congress," he said.
"Latinos face barriers and discrimination across the board in so many categories, including in our justice system, this is not that," Aguilar said."What we read in the indictment and the charges, we should not conflate the discrimination and the issues and barriers Latinos have in the justice system and across industries to what we see there today ... It would be best if he resign.
