Melgen Patients: Don’t Vote for Menendez

Elderly Women Blinded by Melgen, Granddaughter of Victim, Vilify Menendez

MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ — A pair of new ads released Saturday by the Bob Hugin for Senate campaign feature two women sharing their horrific personal stories about how the abusive treatments performed by Dr. Salomon Melgen – best friend and co-defendant of corrupt, career politician Bob Menendez – negatively impacted their lives and the lives of their families.

Hugin Communications Director Megan Piwowar issued the following statement:

“These two new ads tell the story of Bob Menendez’s selfish priorities and who he really is: a corrupt, career politician who is only interested in serving himself and his political donors,” said Piwowar. “Menendez violated federal law and abused the power of his office for his ‘best friend’ Dr. Melgen, a convicted felon and donor who blinded patients by lasering their retinas and performing unnecessary, horrific procedures that some compared to torture. Instead of going on a campaign tour begging to be re-elected, Menendez should be going on a public tour apologizing to the patients who Melgen blinded as well as to the people of New Jersey for disgracing and embarrassing them.“
