Dontcha just love her packingthecourt face mask?
"Not that this was a surprise to anyone familiar with her penchant for saying and doing stupid things, but Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) did not exactly cover herself in glory during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
"To quickly recap, Hirono actually asked Judge Barrett if she had ever sexually assaulted anyone. Here was her exact question: “Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?”
"In another moment that sealed Hirono’s place in the wackadoodle hall of fame, Hirono took issue with Judge Barrett’s use of the term “sexual preference” when talking about gay rights cases. “Sexual preference is an offensive and outdated term, it is used by anti-LGBTQ activists to suggest that sexual orientation is a choice — it is not,” Hirono claimed at the time.
“ 'So even though you didn’t give a direct answer I think your response did speak volumes,” the senator stated. “Not once but twice you used the term ‘sexual preference’ to describe those in the LGBTQ community.”
"It was pointed out at the time by conservatives that the term “sexual preference” was actually used by, among other prominent Democrats, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as well as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. But Hirono was never confronted about this by the mainstream media because that would mean having to do actual journalism in a way that would reflect badly on a Democrat." . . .
