Hirono calls senator’s televised attack ‘outrageous’
Honolulu Star-Ad ^ | October 9, 2018 | Sophie Cocke

Posted on 10/10/2018 1:36:08 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

Democratic U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono says she was disappointed by recent comments Sen. Lindsey Graham made on Fox News, in which he sharply criticized her role in the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Hirono said that she had been able to work with Graham on bipartisan issues in the past.

“I do think Lindsey is channeling Trump to a great extent,” Hirono told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on Tuesday. “I’m very disappointed because I worked with Lindsey on immigration issues and other issues … Frankly, it is so outrageous; it just shows that they will say anything to win.”

Oh, I’m sorry. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. She looks healthy on t.v. Mean, but healthy.

So then, I take it that she is a vampire since she obviously never looks in the mirror? Add Hillary’s statement on restoring civility in Washington by restoring total Democrat control and you know that to stand next to them is to hear the ocean.

I was really surprised at how stupid (as in, low-IQ) she seemed.

I get people like Booker, who are crooks and opportunists, but they have some sort of street smarts to them.

She actually strikes me as about an 80 IQ.

I’m surprised one of the other sharks in the Dhim party didn’t take her out long ago.

Of course, I am constantly surprised at how stupid Nancy Pelosi is. So maybe it’s a thing.

Better than being disgusting which she was/is.

“Overall five year survival rate in the United States is 73%. For cancers that are confined to the kidney, the five year survival rate is 92%, if it has spread to the surrounding lymph nodes it is 65%, and if it has metastasized, it is 12%.”

From Hirono’s wikipedia:

“Hirono announced in May 2017 that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer, which had spread to her seventh rib. The cancer was discovered following a chest x-ray in April before some minor eye surgery. Her right kidney was removed surgically on May 17, 2017, with a Cyberknife procedure to treat the rib lesion. Hirono returned to the Senate on May 22, 2017, and is running for re-election in 2018.”

So when you overlay the survival numbers with her condition, it isn’t really a good picture for her. Leaves you wondering why she’s running again.

Per her direct quote, men should just shut up and step up.

Screw her. I have no sympathy for assholes with her mindset.

The more of these assholes who die off, the better for America, IMO.

She does what she’s told!. I just imagine that the RAT “leadership” looks for House and Senate members like Hirono, because it makes their job so much easier. And really, after all, it is how they see the World. A few really “smart” Marxists telling everybody else when and how to $hit!

“She has stage 4 kidney cancer.”

That’s the best news I’ve seen all day!

It’s true. It’s very uncomfortable for me to attack someone who is ill. The only problem is just like McCain Hirono is threatening the people of our country by promoting bad policy and confusing talking point with facts.

That’s why it’s more challenging to be a Conservative and a Christian. It is not acceptable to give in to our anger we need to channel it. So while wishing Hirono’s therapy helps her I will continue to speak out against her duplicitous positions.

May God hold your wife & son in the palm of his hand and bring comfort & healing to all of you.

“But, let’s leave here alone personally.”


Let’s hope and pray that she recovers from her illness - decency demands that.

However, being sick does not give you immunity to act like the grand Inquisitor, assuming someone skilled based merely upon an accusation. She is supposed to be a United States Senator, and is acting like an overgrown child who is filled with rage. She does need to be called out on that. Unless you can prove that her medications caused her to act in that fashion, and that her entire history otherwise is diametrically the opposite, and she’s not deserving of a break. Sympathy due to her illness and prayers for Recovery, yes. A free pass on atrocious behavior, no.

Bet she never would have said that to her mentor, the late Senator, Inouye.

I pray for you and your family but forgive me if I have no such concern for hateful people like Hirono.

> she had been able to work with Graham on bipartisan issues in the past.

Since the islands speak a different language, we need a translation for Americans of the other 49 states (or 56 for Obama supporters):
Graham has accepted my demands in the past.

The language issue may not be limited "Hawaiians", but with any liberal. Liberals know what she meant so don't need it translated.

I cannot believe that anyone with Japanese ancestry could be as rude and crude as Hirono is. I thought good manners was in the Japanese DNA.

I’ve read that her father was accused of war crimes against allied prisoners during WWII.

I suppose I am about to show my age. I remember when the Whore Ono’s first name was Yoko, not Maize.
