Hirono calls hypocrisy claim ‘manufactured moral outrage’
West Hawaii Today ^ | Sept. 30 , 2018 | Tom Hasslinger

Posted on 09/30/2018 1:43:05 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

The Hawaii senator in the national spotlight for her blunt criticisms of male behavior surrounding the controversial Supreme Court nomination said questions about one of her own male political allies with a checkered domestic past are nothing more than “more manufactured moral outrage led by the Republican leadership.”

Sen. Mazie Hirono grabbed headlines around two weeks ago when she told men in the country to “just shut up and step up. Do the right thing for a change” in regards to investigating the high court’s nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, of sexual assault allegations. During the firestorm, The Washington Free Beacon reported that Hirono took $1,000 in political contributions from Delaware senator Tom Carper, who admitted to slapping his wife in a 1998 interview. It was an accusation that Carper often denied after it first emerged when he was running for election in 1982, but later admitted.

“Did I slap my wife 20 years ago? Yes,” Carper admitted to a Delaware political reporter in 1998. “Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? No.”

Democrats have lost the white male vote.

And they’re trying to drive out other males, too. Congratulations!

That would be “the right thing for a change”, to use Hirono-baka’s words against her.

More and more, it appears that the women of the Democrat party make Bimbos appear as geniuses.
My wife (who has done things impossible for any female lib-O-crat congresscritter) laments that those idiots bring disgrace to the female gender. (Note to libs: there are TWO genders. Deal with it.)

Manufactured, would be charges from 36 years ago that nobody can corroborate.

Outrage would be the only moralistic human response to it.

The Leftists have a mysterious propensity to charge others with doing what they themselves are doing at any given moment.

No one’s going after Jazz Hands Booker for “groping” a girl because it’s obvious that he’s “gayer than laughter”. He made up the groping story ( to build hetero cred) just like he made up “Tbone” and his “Spartacus moment.” He’s an effete drama queen and a habitual liar.

That’s a perfect description of the Democrat mindset.

And then there’s her silence on her mentor, Daniel Inouye.

Yes it is. It's a great example, "Rules for Radicals". All you have to do is read the book, and pay attention to who is trying to destroy what.

The Left would be like a dear in the headlights, if folks would just do that.
