Sen. Hirono: Democrats Have a Hard Time “Connecting” With People Because Of “How Smart We Are”

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) said Democrats have a difficult time “connecting” with voters because of “how smart we are” that “we know so much.” Hirono was interviewed by journalist Dahlia Lithwick at the ‘Bend Towards Justice’ conference in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.

“We’re really good at shoving out all the information that touch people here (points to head) but not here (points to heart),” Hirono said of Democrats.

“I’ve been saying it at all of our Senate Democratic retreats that we need to speak to the heart not in a manipulative way, not in a way that brings forth everybody’s fears and resentments but truly to speak to the hearts so that people know that we’re actually on their side,” the Senator said.

“We have a really hard time doing that,” Hirono lamented, “and one of the reasons it was told to me at one of our retreats was that we Democrats know so much, that is true. And we have kind of have to tell everyone how smart we are and so we have a tendency to be very left brain.”

They all make me sick! Just heard Pelosi saying climate change is important since it’s God’s creation. Guess, Mrs Catholic, doesn’t believe viable unborn babies are part of God’s creation since she supports aborting them.

And, she then became furious when a reporter used the work ‘hate’ toward her. But, it’s ok for her and her cronies to call Trump all kinds of hateful names without any basis.

I just unloaded this on her Facebook page. My blood pressure is sky high !
