While many Democrat senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee focused their 30 minutes of public questioning time for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett on attacking her for signing a pro-life document or political posturing about pre-existing conditions within Obamacare, one senator pivoted from the coordinated narrative to ask Barrett an unprecedented question.
Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii paused lecturing Barrett about the dangers of the Supreme Court overruling the Affordable Care Act to ask her if she has a history with sexual harassment and assault.
“I asked each nominee these two questions, and I will ask them of you,” said Hirono. “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 Hirono,” Barrett replied.
Hirono continued the interrogation by asking if Barrett had been ever legally involved as a party in a case concerning sexual assault.
“Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?” Hirono asked.
“No, senator,” Barrett replied again.

While Hirono’s questioning seemed to be out of place and unnecessary, Barrett acknowledged earlier in the hearing that she knew the judicial confirmation process would be “excruciating.”
No Amy Coney Barrett is not a rapist but, bill clinton is and the democrat nominee is a rapist as well.
Batshit crazy no business on this or any other committee.
She’s setting the stage for accusations of lesbian rape at a sorority party some time in the distant past that no one but the accuser can remember.
Coming soon.
