Just when you thought today’s Senate questioning of Amy Coney Barrett by Democrats couldn’t get any more ridiculous, Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono actually asked the Supreme Court nominee—a Catholic mother of seven children—if she ever sexually assaulted someone.

Hirono began her ludicrous questions by citing a 2017 interview with Chief Justice John Roberts where he stated the judiciary is “not immune” from issues of sexual assault.

The senator said to “ensure the fitness” for any nominee to a lifetime appointment, she asks each appointee two questions.
“Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors, or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?” Hirono asked.

“No, Senator Hirono,” Barrett responded.

“Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?” Hirono then asked.
“No, Senator,” Barrett said.

Here’s resident Senate lunatic, Mazie Hirono asking Amy Coney Barrett "Have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors… or committed assault of a sexual nature?"

The Daily Caller points out that Hirono previously announced in 2018 that she would ask all Supreme Court nominees these questions.
In a January 2018 tweet, Hirono wrote, “Starting today, I’m asking nominees to our courts, under oath, whether or not they have a history of sexual assault or harassment. Like in other industries, our judges are in positions of power & #TimesUp.”

I wonder if Sen. Hirono would ever ask these questions of the notoriously “handsy” Vice President Joe Biden?
