Bob Menendez actually said...

"I do not know what happened. I do not know if anything occurred in North Korea, other than a press conference."

"I will take backseat to no one in the United States Senate on challenging what happened at NATO, what happened at Helsinki."

"I look for individuals who are going to be Assistant Secretaries within their field who will be strong advocates."

"I am not going to rubberstamp nominees who, in the process of their simple presentation to the committee, cannot be forthcoming and transparent."
