Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) has delayed the confirmation of the nominated ambassador to Argentina Noah Mamet, according to the Washington Post.
Mamet admitted to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee four months ago that he had never been to Argentina, however he did raise millions for President Obama's reelection campaign.
According to the Post:
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee was scheduled to move Mamet’s nomination along Tuesday, almost four months after his confirmation hearing, but Rubio put a hold on it until the next business meeting. He’s only allowed to do this once.
Rubio has been an outspoken critic of the Argentine government for its authoritarian actions, which include jailing journalists and rampant corruption.
