Mazie Hirono is a little known Democrat senator from Hawaii. As the Ford-Kavanaugh matter has progressed, however, she is making a name for herself as both a staunch defender of Ford as well as a complete idiot.
First, when Ford came forward, Hirono told America's men that they had better shut up and let only women respond to Ford's charges. Men, you see, are disqualified from having an opinion or stating that view if a woman is charging a man with a sex-related crime. We have to believe the accuser, no matter what she says and no matter what the evidence shows, at least according to the amazing Mazie.
Today, Jake Tapper asked Hirono on the CNN Sunday morning news show whether or not Judge Kavanaugh was entitled to the presumption of innocence. You know the question: Is Judge Kavanaugh innocent until proven guilty?
Here's Hirono's answer: “I put his denial in the context of everything that I know about him in terms of how he approaches his cases”
Let's look at that response for a moment. Here's a US senator saying that a judge is not presumed innocent because of what he has said in the decisions he has rendered. Hirono doesn't like Kavanaugh's conservative legal stance so she doesn't want him to have constitutionally guaranteed rights.
I truly wonder if Hirono believes this (in which case she is not qualified to be a senator) or if this is just a political stance to keep her in line with the Democrats' anti-Kavanaugh position (in which case she is not qualified to be a senator.) It's fine for her to take any political position she wants, but when a senator starts advocating for individuals to lose their constitutional rights based upon their political views, it crosses the line.
