Robert Menendez actually said...

"I do not know how long I am personally willing to wait for those set of circumstances to continue without pursuing a more vigorous action such as the sanctions that several of us have called for."

"Unfortunately, as we speak here today, there is another improbable and surprising external power calling the shots in Venezuela and interfering with the will of the people there, Cuba."

"A U.S. oil embargo on Venezuela or any kind of nationwide economic sanction would instantly be painted as Yankee imperialism."

"The only additional thing that I will urge you is that when these individuals are sanctioned, it be very clear why."
