Hirono Asks Barrett If She Has Ever 'Made Unwanted Requests For Sexual Favors'
MSN ^ | October 13, 2020

Posted on 10/13/2020 5:38:29 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Sen. Mazie Hirono asked Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett whether she has been the perpetrator of any sexual misconduct, a question Hirono said she asks all nominees.

“I ask each nominee these two questions, and I will ask them of you. 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?” the Hawaii Democrat asked during the hearing on Tuesday.

Hirono also used her time on Tuesday to criticize Barrett over her use of the phrase “sexual preference” instead of “sexual orientation” earlier in the day when the matter of same-sex marriage was being discussed.

“Not once, but twice, you used the term ‘sexual preference’ to describe those in the LGBTQ community,” Hirono said. “And let me make clear, sexual preference is an offensive and outdated term.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. Sexual orientation is a key part of a person’s identity.”

This sad excuse for a US senator just enjoys her forays into political and social relevancy, no matter how brief and how vile those forays may be.

This is just Crazy Mazie by asking “ If Mrs. Barrett Has Ever ‘Made Unwanted Requests For Sexual Favors’. Mazie is jealous of anyone who can “request favors”. Mazie not only had to BEG but had to wear a paper bag on her head and pay him.

Since you became a legal adult

As opposed to what? An illegal adult? An unlawful adult?
= = =

Correct.

Implying ‘illegal adult’ is offensive.

Please explain how someone who requests a sexual favor knows whether the request is wanted or unwanted until the request is made.

No, but they can use it as a delaying tactic, and I’m willing to bet they will. They had better not succeed. Graham and McConnell and the Republicans are going to have to show some spine.

Hawaii should hang its head in shame that it sent this low life, scum & vermin, Democrat Party Bitch/Witch, Senator Mazie Hirono to the U.S> Senate!!! The woman, sadly, has not one iota of class, decency, or dignity in her hating soul!!!

And...she is no positive tourism banner for the Islands!!! How dumb can the voters of Hawaii be? Pretty DUMB!!! Case closed!!!
