Democrats in Congress say GOP senators are continuing to hold up the nomination of the woman President Biden tapped to become the next US Envoy to Combat and Monitor Anti-Semitism, five months after she was nominated.
Biden nominated Deborah Lipstadt, an Emory professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies, on July 30. Lipstadt has thus far not even been offered a hearing by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Lipstadt has previously worked with both Democratic and Republican administrations and enjoys strong support from a wide range of Jewish groups.
"I want to make sure that whoever is there is someone we can count on to be heard around the world and whatever they have said in the past won't undermine their ability to do their job," Rubio said."But I just don't want to comment on a nomination that I haven't fully reviewed yet."Menendez said there was nothing in her background that should be a problem.
