Rubio misses Paris hearing for fundraising
Source: Tampa Bay Times
At 10 a.m. Wednesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee went behind closed doors for a briefing titled, The Aftermath of Paris: Americas Role. But Sen. Marco Rubio was not there. The Florida Republican is on his way to California for fundraising.
The absence illustrates how Rubio is not just missing floor votes but also key hearings on national security and foreign policy -- issues he has presented as chief credentials of his presidential campaign. He's also skipping a Paris briefing this afternoon for all senators. His office said he attended an Intelligence Committee meeting on Paris held Tuesday.
In recent months Rubio has missed a slew of Foreign Relations hearings and classified briefings, records show, aiding his critics.
In January, Rubio missed an intelligence briefing on ISIS and two other classified briefings because he was fundraising in California. In April he missed a closed Intelligence Committee briefing while in Texas raising money. And in September he missed a Foreign Relations hearing on the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East.
