Dem Sen. Mazie Hirono apologizes for fundraising off Brett Kavanaugh allegations
Washington Times ^ | 9/29/18 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 09/29/2018 9:26:49 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

The re-election campaign for Sen. Mazie Hirono apologized Thursday for an email blast that used the sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh as a fundraising pitch. The email, titled, “Asking for a minute to explain [Judge Kavanaugh],” said the Hawaii Democrat was too busy “fighting the Republicans” to fundraise and asked for “a donation of $3 or more” to put toward her re-election. “This has to be my focus,” Ms. Hirono wrote in the email, CNN reported. “What that means is I have limited time to campaign for our re-election or to fundraise — making us particularly vulnerable to right-wing attacks.” Ms. Hirono’s campaign later apologized for the email and said any donations made from it would be donated. “A fundraising message was sent this morning in error,” the campaign told CNN in an email. “We apologize sincerely for the error. All contributions that were made on this page will be donated to organizations helping survivors of sexual assault.” Ms. Hirono serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which heard Christine Blasey Ford’s and Judge Kavanaugh’s testimonies on Thursday regarding Ms. Ford’s sexual assault allegations against the Supreme Court nominee. Ms. Hirono has been at the forefront of demanding an FBI investigation into the allegations, which Judge Kavanaugh has strongly denied.

DON'T TELL ME!! LEMME GUESS. She's truly contrite. She was taken out of context. (my personal favorite) THIS ISN'T WHO I AM! Being she's from Hawaii, she should sacrifice herself to the angry volcano, THEN her apology MAY be credible.

The RATS have realized that they have over-reached to the point where they are losing their supporters.

The moderates see that there is no place for them in the new Action Democrat Party.

The radicals are pissed that Kavenaugh was not left bleeding and eviserated on the hearing room floor.

Does the calling out her shameless politicking count as “STEPPING UP”?

I doubt they realize anything.

She is only contrite AFTER the check is deposited.

And the volcano is where she was coughed up from Hell.

Oh, I know, she is an immigrant from Japan in the first place, and she STILL blames America for dropping the nuclear weapons on Japan in WW II, virtually destroying the feudal society that was Japan under the Bushido code.

Japanese society, MUCH better than American.
