Senator Mazie Hirono says "Fuck Them" about her critics...
Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono has been quietly continuing her practice of asking every federal judiciary nominee whether they have ever been accused of sexual misconduct for months now. And to anyone who would criticize her for it, or for her other pointed questions about their commitment to civil rights, Hirono has just two words: "F*** them!"
In an interview with NPR, Hirono, a Democrat, said her line of questioning isn't to stoke the fires of partisan politics but to vet judges who "care about individual and civil rights."
"If that's considered liberal, as opposed to what I call justice and fairness, as I am wont to say, f*** them!" Hirono said.
Hirono first introduced questions about nominees' histories with sexual misconduct in January, when she and other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee were holding a hearing for Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals nominee Kurt Engelhardt. During the hearing, Hirono asked him point-blank if he had ever "made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature."
