Hirono Asks Barrett If She Has Ever 'Made Unwanted Requests For Sexual Favors'

Sen. Mazie Hirono asked Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett whether she has been the perpetrator of any sexual misconduct, a question Hirono said she asks all nominees.
“I ask each nominee these two questions, and I will ask them of you. Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?” the Hawaii Democrat asked during the hearing on Tuesday.
Hirono also used her time on Tuesday to criticize Barrett over her use of the phrase “sexual preference” instead of “sexual orientation” earlier in the day when the matter of same-sex marriage was being discussed.
“Not once, but twice, you used the term ‘sexual preference’ to describe those in the LGBTQ community,” Hirono said. “And let me make clear, sexual preference is an offensive and outdated term. It is used by anti-LGBTQ activists to suggest that sexual orientation is a choice. It is not. Sexual orientation is a key part of a person’s identity.”

How long till they drag some Notre Dame dropout out of the woodwork to claim she harassed him/her when she was teaching there? I think that’s coming ... seriously; anything to delay her to sit in for ACA hearing

I think Barrett sees the humor in these people posing as Great Minds. The Three Stooges pioneered that sort of thing.

Yeah, but because of your orientation you would have a preference, right?
And now due to the proliferation of orientations, preference would be the most explicit term.

“”How many wanted requests for sexual favors has Hirono ever made? A better question is were any request for sexual favors returned?

It definitely sounded like a setup question to me.

Hironi baloni says she always asks nominees this question. Bet it’s the first time she’s been on this committee and asked anything.
To: Helicondelta
I googled a bit. They seem to be used interchangeably. Barrett was polite.
To: Helicondelta
Take another look at her, Mazie.
Do you honestly think anyone would consider a sexual request from her “unwanted?”
She doesn’t look at all like you, Mazie.
