 Hirono: Kavanaugh Doesn’t Get Presumption of Innocence Because of His ‘Ideological Agenda’
Posted By Cameron Cawthorne On September 23, 2018 @ 11:25 am In Politics | No Comments

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii) appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, where she appeared to insinuate that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh does not get the presumption of innocence because of his "ideological agenda," citing his views on abortion.

Christine Blasey Ford, a professor of psychology at Palo Alto University in California, has accused Kavanaugh of drunkenly pinning her to a bed, groping her, and trying to stifle her screams at a high school party in the early 1980's. Kavanaugh denied the allegations, as has his former classmate Mark Judge, who Ford claims was also in the room at the time of the alleged incident. Two other people that Ford alleges were at the party in question, have also denied any knowledge of the party or sexual assault.

Hirono should be censured for her hateful rhetoric. Our lawmakers are ripping the Constitution to shreds right on TV.

She would have made a great democrat in the Civil War days when Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, a democrat, opined black people had no rights a white person was bound to respect.  I see absolutely no difference between Taney's and Hirono's comments.
