Eager to prove his manliness little Marco blocks Biden's nominee for ambassador to China
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) announced Tuesday he had placed a hold on President Biden's nominee for ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, over concerns about Burns' business relationships in China.
Why it matters: Burns is a widely respected former career diplomat who was expected to receive overwhelming bipartisan support in the Senate. Even Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has stalled dozens of Biden's State Department nominees, lifted his blockade for Burns.
What he's saying: "Nicholas Burns has a long career in public service, but it is a career defined by the failure to understand the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party," Rubio said in a statement.
"In fact, Burns displayed no remorse or concern about his current business relationships with nationless corporations operating in China," he added, in what is likely a reference to Burns' global consulting work for The Cohen Group.
