Robert Menendez actually said...

"As a member of the House of Representatives, I sat on the Select Committee that created the Department of Homeland Security."

"My memory is seared by the fact of the 700 New Jerseyians who lost their life on that fateful September day."

"I appreciate this opportunity to join Senator Booker in introducing a gentleman from Montclair, New Jersey, to be our next Homeland Security Secretary."

"I had legislation last year to deal with this. I am going to reintroduce it again."
