Will the Senate Censure Crazy Mazie Hirono?

But without doubt it is Crazy Mazie’s conduct as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that was clearly dishonorable, the very epitome of what McCarthy was seen as being: “bullying, reckless, and dishonest.”

Speaking: Mazie Hirono; nodding: Kirsten Gillibrand

The American Spectator  . . . "This moment in Senate history came to mind when listening to Hawaii’s Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono say the following to the Attorney General of the United States — Bill Barr — at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Said Hirono:

“May or any of the other people who sacrificed their once-decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits ir. Barr, now the American people know that you’re no different than Rudy Giuliani or Kellyanne Conwn the Oval Office. Being attorney general of the United States is a sacred trust. You have betrayed that trust. America deserves better. You should resign.”

"Got that? A United States Senator used a formal hearing of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee to call the President of the United States “the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval Office.” Then she attacked the Attorney General for having “betrayed” his office and sacrificing his own quite sterling reputation. 

"Her words had the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, quickly admonishing Hirono, saying"

“You have slandered this man from top to bottom. If you want more of this you’re not going to get it.”

"Exactly.
"Aside from whatever projection of her own problems this illustrated, “Crazy Mazie” most assuredly did exactly what Joe McCarthy was accused of doing. Hirono “… acted contrary to senatorial ethics and tended to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute” and clearly impaired the Senate’s dignity.
"Recall that during the Kavanaugh hearings Crazy Mazie stood before the cameras and microphones at a press conference and said American men should “shut up and step up” when it comes to issues of sexual assault. Yet notably Hirono was stone cold silent about the court-documented charges of abuse by the ex-wife of her fellow Senate Democrat, Sherrod Brown. " . . .

Senator Hirono Didn’t Always Tell Men to ‘Shut Up’ and Believe Accusers  
"When it mattered in her own backyard, with a male Democratic senator, she turned a blind eye to sexual abuse." . . .
