Rubio breaks with McCain and Graham on blocking a possible Susan Rice nomination
Sen. Marco Rubio broke with two fellow foreign policy hawks this morning on whether U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's statements about the Benghazi incident automatically disqualify her from leading the State Department.
"I think if you're going to have a fair process to evaluate someone, you can't go in having already made up your mind," Rubio said at the Washington Ideas Forum.
Yesterday, Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte said they would block Rice if Obama nominated her to the post expected to be vacated by Hillary Clinton. They blame Rice for saying initially that the deadly attack in Benghazi was due to a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim video, and was not a terrorist plot.
