Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) sparked uproar on social media on Tuesday, over her asking U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett if she had ever committed sexual assault.
What are the details?
During the second day of hearings for Judge Barrett, Hirono explained to the nominee that she always asks the same two questions to candidates being considered for lifetime appointments.
The first question was, “Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors, or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?”
Judge Barrett answered “No, Senator Hirono.”
“Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?” the senator asked in her follow-up.
“No, Senator,” Barrett replied.
Hirono’s questions drew condemnation on Twitter from users who viewed them as inappropriate and insulting.
Director Robby Starbuck tweeted out a video of the exchange, writing, “Here’s resident Senate lunatic, Mazie Hirono asking Amy Coney Barrett ‘Have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors… or committed assault of a sexual nature?’ Amy’s kids just watched their Mom get asked if she’s a rapist. Pure evil.”
“So disrespectful. Sen. Hirono is shameless,” another person wrote. Someone else tweeted, “Just when you think they can’t possibly go any lower @maziehirono comes thru and lowers the bar even more.”
Yet another reacted by saying, “Disgusting question by Senate Democrat Member Mazie Hirono of Hawaii.”
Others suggested that Hirono ask the same questions of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who has been accused of sexual assault and other allegations of sexual misconduct.
Hirono endorsed Biden for president months ago, but lambasted President Donald Trump’s last Supreme Court nominee, now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and found him unfit for the high court over an unsubstantiated allegation of sexual assault from when he was a teenager emerged during his hearings. Kavanaugh vehemently denied the allegations, and was narrowly confirmed after a largely partisan, bitter Senate battle.
TheBlaze previously reported that Hirono “decried the presumption of innocence during Kavanaugh’s confirmation, telling CNN in September 2018 that due process ‘makes it really difficult for victims and survivors of these kinds of traumatic events to even come forward.'”
Last month, Hirono declared on the Twitter that she would not support Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court, providing a long list of reasons for her decision. The senator from Hawaii concluded, “I oppose her nomination and will fight to deny her a lifetime position on the United States Supreme Court, and in doing so, will tell the American people the danger she poses to hard-won rights.”

What a perverted pos. She must have some kind of fantasy about this type of activity. Keep her away from the playgrounds as she needs special help.
You have to understand Democrat strategy: They have someone ready to claim they were sexually harassed/assaulted by this woman…..They are prepping to “Kavanaugh” her.
It would be surprising if she didn’t ! Are these people mentally sick or what is it that makes them so sick?
Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono has become the brown stuff you try to shake or scrape off the bottom of your shoe. What do they put in the Kool-Aid in Hawaii anyway?
While it is a disgusting question to ask of her, if she was a he many people would think nothing of it being asked. I call this a double standard, aren’t we supposed to be gender blind to be PC ? Just so you know lm not gender blind or PC.
Hirono’s questions were stupid and insulting. And so are you since you seem to try to justify them. PATHETIC.
good for you pointing out the obvious …
People who steal are usually the ones who fear that someone will steal from them. I wonder if this Mazie from Hawaii has some “sexual shadows” in her background that makes her ask such stupid and insulting questions? If she is an example of what we have in the Senate, we have a right – no, an obligation! – to have “contempt for congress”!
That Senator is SICK and unfit to b a Senator. How many children or young adults have you sexually assaulted, or do you just dream about it?
I wonder if she is one of the ”elite” who benefit from childrens’ adrenaline ????? so maybe YOUR question isn’t far-fetched !!!!!
This Senator is beyond mentally sick. It’s obvious she doesn’t give a damn about anyone but herself. The people of Hawaii should be so proud of her. If she wanted to know something about sex, why doesn’t she make it a point to ask former VP Biden. He stole a man’s wife, he had at least children with his first wife, so he must know something she could use. But no, she doesn’t ask Biden and she’s voting for him to be racist, sexy President. lol. This is too funny, but so sad. Perhaps this Senator only knows that pertain to sex, because she sure as hell doesn’t know much more or even when to keep her mouth shut. I say this as a card carrying Democrat since 1972, but not for much longer.
Better still, this democommie skank should ask handsy-feely joe “who” Tara Reade is!!
This just goes to show the demoncrats are so vile they would ask this question of a woman who has impeccable credentials and with her family sitting right there! This nut case should not be in government. Nice going, lamebrain! You look like an idiot to the American people.
Hirono is projecting her OWN morality onto Amy. That is right. This is the kind of person she is. And so she asks Barrette if she does those things. PATHETIC.
And I will bet dollars to doughnuts she gets reelected! That folks is the sad part of this. You have idiots like this running our government and then wonder why we are where we are.
And Pelosi holding up the covid money because she does not want to make President Trump look good.
So we all pay for it. This folks is where the Dumbocrats show their stupidity, they vote these people in time after time.
God help us. We need it.
