Tensions flared at a Senate hearing on Antifa when a top Democrat walked out of the room declaring she couldn’t sit through Sen. Ted Cruz’s rhetorical speeches any longer.
The dustup occurred when Cruz, R-Texas, blasted Democrats for not condemning Antifa more directly for the violence and destruction that has taken hold in certain U.S. cities in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.
But Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, said Cruz just wasn’t listening during the more than three-hour hearing when Democrats said violence is not acceptable.
“Sometimes I don’t think you listen,” Hirono told Cruz at the Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing as he finished up with a nearly 10-minute speech. “So, how many times have I had to say that we all should be denouncing violent extremists of every stripe.”
“Does that include Antifa?” said Cruz, who was chairing the hearing.
“I have the time,” Hirono shot back.
“…I hope this is the end of this hearing, Mr. Chairman, and that we don’t have to listen to any more of your rhetorical speeches,” Hirono concluded. “Thank you very much. I’m leaving.” …

Do we really need Hawaii as a state? Florida is just as nice in January...it’s cheaper...and it’s easier to get to.

THAT looks DISGUSTING!! I did like FRIED SPAM with yellow mustard when I was a kid though.
It is disgusting, but I’m a ha’ole.
Looks to me Cruz is a fighter. Wish my senator would take note.
Of course she said nothing about Antifa Violence. She is, after all, in league with ‘Numbskull’ Nadler and his rant about that the Antifa Violence is a “MYTH” However, the real reason is that the DemoCRAPic Party is in league with but the Antifa & BLM Criminal Terrorists and are also funding them through the DNC. And yes, this has been proven by the DNC itself and they are proud in doing so!!!!!
She understands, but as a Demonicrat, Traitorhirono doesn't care.
I am getting so tired of the Republican Senators referring to the Democrats as the Democratic Party when it is the Democrat Party!!
Tell your friends to quit voting for these EMBARRASSING IDIOTS!
They are Democrat Senators NOT Democratic Senators.
F Sen. Hineyhole.
Wymyns — Is there ANYTHING they don’t know? Any job they CAN’T do? Are they EVER wrong about ANYTHING? Is ANY man their equal?
When the Democrats say they want to “have a conversation” about something, it means they will talk, and you will listen.
So, according to Fox, Mazie Hirono is a “top Democrat”? Hell, half of the people in Hawaii don’t know who she is. She is, of course, the same screeching bitch who told all of us men to “just shut up.”
Hawai’i is about 90% Democrat.
It will never vote Republican.
Lots of people on the dole that work for cash, so no income.
I knew something was off when I saw a guy with tribal face tatts driving a 70K truck.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen sponges more intelligent than this woman...nerf balls for sure...
Cruz debating Hirono. That’s like Mike Tyson v Jane Fonda.
Nothing says “I’m not listening to you” like walking out on someone’s speech.
What hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!
