Biden judicial nominee stalled by Democrat worried about ‘anti-Asian bias’: Senate aides
Fox News
Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, is holding up a Biden nominee for prosecuting an alleged Chinese spy, calling the pursuit “anti-Asian” racism, according to a senate aide.
Hirono's office declined to comment to Fox News Digital on the senator's alleged opposition to Arrowood, as did a spokesperson for Democrats on the committee. But Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who backs the nomination, said she is also aware that opposition from the Democrat side of the aisle is what is stalling it. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Blackburn said it is a "shame" that Democrats are stonewalling Arrowood's "well-qualified" appointment for "prosecuting a potential CCP spy."
