"Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii faced mockery on social media on Thursday over her opening questions to Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum during his confirmation hearing.
" 'As part of my responsibilities to ensure the fitness of nominees before any of the committees on which I sit, I ask the following two initial questions," Hirono said to Burgum on Thursday. "First is, 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?"
" 'No, senator, I have not," Burgum responded.
" 'Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?" Hirono then asked.
" 'I have not," Burgum said.
"Hirono, who has asked similar opening questions to several other nominees in the past, including Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth and Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, was widely panned by conservatives on social media over the line of questioning.
" 'This lady has issues." conservative commentator Chad Prather posted on X. " . . .
Comment to the above: " 'Senator, I find these to be inappropriate questions that are totally unrelated to the substance of this hearing. I therefore respectfully decline to answer." What's she going to do about it - not vote for him? She already decided not to vote for him the day he was nominated by Trump." JHUJOEB663
