Full title: Sen. Hirono Condemns McConnell Calling Leftist Protestors a 'Mob', Says It 'Dangerously Underestimates' Them
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) slammed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Thursday for using the word “mob” in reference to left-wing protestors that have been targeting GOP lawmakers over the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“It is the richest of ironies that the majority leader has taken to calling those opposed to the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh a mob when several nights a month the president whips his supporters into a frenzy to attack his target of choice,” she said in a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting.
Hirono then issued a somewhat ominous message to McConnell, warning him that he was “dangerously underestimating" what Kavanaugh's confirmation had "awakened."
“To characterize the women who identified with Dr. Ford, who demonstrated and marched here to Washington from around the country to demand the Senate not confirm a man credibly accused of sexual assault as a ‘mob’ dangerously underestimates what this confirmation process awakened,” she said.
“Women are tired of being dismissed and disbelieved and if you want to be responsive to the American people we would all be wise to listen to them with respect,” Hirono concluded.
In his floor speech on Tuesday, McConnell referred to the “unhinged tactics” of leftist protestors which included chasing GOP senators out of restaurants and in airports , screaming at them in the halls and floor of the Senate, and even banging and clawing at the doors of the Supreme Court.
“The far-left mob is not letting up,” he said Tuesday. “Earlier today former Secretary of State Clinton sent this signal as clear as today. This is Secretary Clinton. She told CNN exactly how she views millions of Americans who hold different political views from her own.”
“Here’s what she said: ‘You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for. If we’re fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again,’” he continued, simply quoting Clinton’s remarks .
While she would like McConnell to condemn the word “mob,” Sen. Hirono has refused to condemn protestors targeting the GOP in restaurants and at their homes.
"It is one thing to protest at the Supreme Court,” CNN’s Dana Bash told Hirono, “it's another thing to run senators out of restaurants, go to their homes. Is that going too far?"
"I think that it just means that there are a lot of people who are very, very much motivated by what is going on,” Hirono replied, “because what happened with Judge Kavanaugh is from the very beginning, this was not a fair process."
"Well, this is what happens, you know, because when you look at white supremacists and all of that, this is what is coming forth in our country," she added. "There is a tremendous divisiveness in our country, but this is the kind of activism that occurs, and people make their own decisions. If they violate the law, then they have to account for that."
Sen. Hirono is not the only one who has developed sudden scruples over the use of the word "mob" to describe the extreme leftist protestors. CNN hosts Brooke Baldwin and Don Lemon have both chastised CNN panelists for using the term, claiming that it is being weaponized by the right.
Free Beacon's Andrew Kugle compiled clips of the behavior of leftist protestors with clips of the CNN hosts condemning the term mob:
SUPERcut of reporters telling people to not use the "mob" word cut with video of the mob.
“Don’t call us a mob! Or else we will follow you to the ends of the earth, camp outside your door, blow horns outside the White House to keep you from sleeping, protest you with signs and pickets whenever you go out in public, corner you in elevators, camp out on your social media sites, issue fantasies about ripping your kids from your arms and having them raped in prison, punch you, shoot you,make your life a living hell, and hang you in effigy as a Halloween decoration!”
This trying to shut down the word MOB comes straight from SOROS. They started it in the media. Just another left wing, brain wash campaign to stifle opposition and truth.
Standard cry bully Leftist clown behavior. Behave like an ass, cry victim when people point out you are actually an ass.
The word “mob” must have shown negative toward the dems in a focus group and now the want it banned.
“It is one thing to protest at the Supreme Court,” CNN’s Dana Bash told Hirono, “it’s another thing to run senators out of restaurants, go to their homes. Is that going too far?”
“I think that it just means that there are a lot of people who are very, very much motivated by what is going on,” Hirono replied,...
We’ll remember that Maisie, when we have to defend ourselves
from the leftist thugs, we will be very, very much motivated.
So what is Antifa, dumbass?
blm?
Soros’ paid protesters?
Good lord, these people are so far out of it.
“Diversity is our strength”.
“Division” is our strength.
They wanted division, they got division.
Exactly! Sane people on both sides of the aisle are fed up with this, they’ve been around since the 60’s and it’s really getting old.
! YOU PATHETIC HAG!! Mobbbbbbbbbbbbb...your animal base is a MOBBBBBBBB!!
Hey crazy moron-o. STFU!
I’m hoping someone digs into this hags past and reveals her corruption. She’s a lib Dem which qualifies her for corruption.
Yeah ... tied with all of them.
That’s it, no more pineapples for me!
F**k Hawaii for sending this nasty offspring of Tokyo Rose to the senate.
Hirono is incompetent, and should resign from the Senate!!!!
......Hirono then issued a somewhat ominous message to McConnell, warning him that he was “dangerously underestimating” what Kavanaugh’s confirmation had “awakened.”.....
The Kavanaugh confirmation has awakened the American people to how very dangerous the Dims are, and that they must sweep them away at the polls!!!!
What a stupid lying sack of shit. We haven't "attacked" anyone... YET.
Tell her to ease up on the banzai charge.

1: a large and disorderly crowd of people especially : one bent on riotous or destructive action
2 informal : a large number of people a mob of shoppers clogged the aisles a team greeted by mobs of fans
3 : a criminal set : gang especially, often capitalized : mafia sense 1 a member of the Mob a mob informant
Yep. Mob is sticking and it hurts. Hazy explains mob rule is justified because white supremacists have it coming. Meaning everyone who opposes progressive intimidation.
Hazy is not liking the beating the Donald is laying down on the Dems. Not liking it at all.

ASK her what her father’s status was in the Imperial Japanese Army during WW2 . Ask her how many American soldiers he killed ? Ask her to reiterate he immigration self narrative again . Exactly how and why did she get in here again? To go on to become one of the most idiotic Senators in U.S. history .
And here is her opponent in election to the U.S. Senate ‘again’ . Ron Curtis -
https://roncurtis808.com/
Ron stands about a snowball’s chance in Hell , but maybe if President Trump and Senator Graham would back him up a bit . It would at least cause ‘Mad Mazie ‘ to spend a lot more money .
This shake&bake immigrant (Hirono Keiko) is already using any & all publicity mentioning her to raise campaign funds , which she doesn’t need , for herself.
