Please… there's nothing decent, honest or moral about Nadine or her vile husband. They are excellent actors.
The world is less than inspired by Nadine Arslanian & her husband Robert Menendez.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt when he was brought up on charges of corruption years ago. Now, he's shown to be even worse-a disgraceful, dishonest, immoral, unethical fraud. He needs to resign for the good of NJ.
Robert & Nadine are the ultimate example of fraud, greed & corruption.
These two used his position as NJ Senator to gain influence & favors with several corrupt NJ businessman in exchange for money, an expensive car, gold bars etc. His excuse that he doesn't trust banks couldn't be bigger bullshit. Don't all NJ residents stuff gold bars & wads of cash in suit pockets in their closets?
Nadine is a fraudulent grifter. These two criminals belong locked behind bars for a long time. They are a disgraceful embarrassment to all NJ residents & especially Democrats. To use Nadine's words- Menendez will go down as being on the wrong side of history & the law.
Amazing interview with lovely Nadine Arslanian about to become inmate Nadine Arslanian. Please do interview her again to she how she coping up in prison. lol 😂
New Jersey Corruption Personified. Nadine is going to be very popular in prison
It is SO SAD that this has now ended with a Federal Indictment of Public Corruption for Nadine and Senator Robert Menendez. I truly hope they are Innocent but the evidence just looks so OVERWHELMING…cash stuffed envelopes with DNA/fingerprints of sources, MB car with paper trail of monthly payments made by source, Gold Bars with serial numbers tied to source, Foreclosure payment of Home by source, incriminating text messages. It just looks SO BAD!
Unfortunately everything they did was for money and not for the best interest of anyone else but themselves !
Lol, so now it’s not just dolma but kibbeh and su-boreg that are armenian dishes? With their turkic and arabic names? Hilarious. And very armenian. Just as menendez himself – causing a huge chaos to bully others into giving him what he wants but has no right for. Except, it wasn’t him getting it really, it was a typical political decision given the confrontation between the US and Erdogan at that point. I am sure menendez got his own candy from the armenian diaspora of course, and i don’t mean only his fiancee. Just the way she was introduced – not as an entity in her own right but as a weaponised hetera which is what armenian women have always been used as, even with their enemies – tells you all there is to know. Hail modern day servants of Anahit!
Great interview!
Thank you Nadin for your interview… Beautifully explained…
Such a beautiful story! Thank you The Armenian Report team!
Very touching interview! We share the same feelings , Nadine! 🙏🏻
Thank you Ms. Arslanian for your dedication to the Armenian Cause. Consider publishing your grandfather's books. I believe the time has come for the U.S. Government to finally punish Turkey: reparations and Western Armenia.
Thank you Anna
Absolutely outstanding interview!!!
Thank you to all and each one of you who worked on this interview. But a special thank you to Senator Bob Menendez for first believing in us and his hard work to get the Armenian genocide recognised. God bless .
Great work Anna. Thanks you for educating us about this. I had no idea this happened, it's sad to hear, but it has to be told until everyone recognizes it for what it was. Armenian Genocide.
Crying … thank You for this interview.
What a touching interview. Thank you for sharing your story Ms. Nadine, I was in tears because it reminded me of very similar stories I heard from my grandparents. I will never forget the pain in my grandmothers voice as she wept and shared what her father and sisters went though during the Genocide. Every year on April 24 she anxiously waited for a statement of Genocide acceptance from the US President and was left disappointed. She passed away July 2019 and didn’t get a chance to witness this historic moment. I am beyond grateful to Sen. Menendez and everyone involved for being my grandparents voice.
And thank you Anna for this special interview.
Outstanding interview Anna! Senator Menendez has long been a champion for our cause and I for one will always be a fan of his!
Amazing interview. Thanks for all your hard work Anna.
Oh my this is so hard to listen to… and I just started.
An amazing discussion, Anna and Nadine. Thanks for shedding light on that which went on "behind the scenes," in order for the U.S. Senate, through the bipartisan leadership of Senator Menendez and Senator Cruz, to rightfully recognize the Armenian Genocide via unanimous consent. Well done, Anna and Nadine!
Stand up job Ms. V, resilient and moving!!!
