Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has given his blessing for Sen. Bob Menendez, one of Congress’s most conservative Democrats on foreign policy issues, to return to his previous job as the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Hill aides tell BuzzFeed News.
Menendez, who relinquished the position in 2015 after being indicted on federal corruption charges, is expected to reclaim the title of ranking member this week, aides said, following the Justice Department’s decision last week to drop corruption charges against him.
Menendez’s return as the Democrats’ top voice on foreign policy is expected to anger progressive activists who for years expressed dissatisfaction with Menendez’s hawkish views.
“Senator Menendez has failed to show he has the dedication to a diplomacy-first foreign policy that’s urgently needed now in the Democratic Party and Senate as a whole,” Jo Comerford, campaign director at MoveOn.org, a leading progressive advocacy group, told BuzzFeed News.
If Robert Menendez is what the Democrats and media consider to be one of the most “conservative” Democrats in the Senate, then I must be to the left of Nancy Pelosi on everything. Democrats reward corruption as is evident by Schumer reappointing Menendez.
