Rep. Rob Menendez tangles online with challenger, Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla

The gloves are off in the Democratic primary race for the 8th Congressional District. First-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Rob Menendez started it last week, slamming his opponent Ravi Bhalla online for unethically doing a political interview at City Hall in Hoboken, where Bhalla is the mayor. Bhalla shot back, “Wow the entitled son of corrupt Bob ‘Gold’ Bar Menendez trying to lecture me about ethics!”
