A run-of-the-mill Senate Judiciary Committee hearing became bad-tempered Wednesday, with Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) accusing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of “mansplaining” after he referenced her in a question to a nominee about the doctrine of judicial originalism.
During the hearing to consider U.S. District Judge Gustavo Gelpi’s nomination to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, Cruz told the nominee that Hirono had stated “that you refused to commit to originalism because originalism would prevent [case] outcomes that she supports … she doesn’t want judges who will follow the original understanding of the Constitution.”

Similar situation in the Australian Parliament: amusing. Guy has none of it

Hirono is a total dope. All she ever does is read a lengthy statement written by somebody else, then asks some worthless question and then cuts off the answer.
She’s only on the Judiciary committee because she’s a militant leftist.

Mazie, sweetly, it’s not mansplaining if it’s a foregone conclusion being fereremced.

Hirono is a classic example of someone so stupid she’s unaware of her stupidity. It’s a sort of aggressive stupidity.

Hirono is a classic example of someone so stupid she’s unaware of her stupidity. She's smart enough to exploit the stupidity of the voters.

DemonRat Socialists can’t stand it when someone tells the truth about them.
Hirono’s staggering quantity of stupid is exceeded only by her quantity of ugly

She later said “Mr. Chairman.” Isn’t that anti-woke? /sarc.

She’s only on the Judiciary committee because she’s a militant leftist.I disagree - she is also on the Judiciary committee because she is a minority.

She's smart enough to exploit the stupidity of the voters. She is a politician and has handlers. They are the ones with the brains.

Someone in Congress was so incredibly stupid they used this word? They should be shunned and ridiculed out of the country. We do not need further infantile behavior infecting this nation nor its political discourse.

Magpie Hirono is one of the most despicable people to walk the halls of Congress. Ever.
Her anti-male bigotry was on full display during the Kav hearings, yet she easily won re-election.
Marxists like her know they can say and do anything, yet never pay a political price. That's why they say and do anything they damn well please.

Her anti-male bigotry was on full display during the Kav hearings, yet she easily won re-election. She sure didn't believe the nine women who accused Daniel Inouye of sexual harassment.

Sorry lady. But be it coming from a man, a woman or whatever creature the universe may conjure, logic to you is akin to acid dripping on your tiny brain.
To: ConservativeStatement
there would be no need to mansplain, if women would just listen and comprehend more.
