Hirono electrifies left as Trump antagonist

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a chamber packed with loud personalities, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) is not the obvious pick to be a pillar of resistance to the Trump administration.

She’s not running for president. She’s petite, generally unassuming and for years had a reputation among reporters for refusing to talk in the Capitol.

She is, in the words of her colleagues, a “workhorse.”

But Hirono, 71, has emerged as an electrifying force for progressives as they battle with President Trump on various fronts: judicial nominations, immigration, and the feud over special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe and subsequent report.

“Trump is a major motivation to be speaking out because I so disagree with some of the things that he decides on, and you notice there’s a lawsuit on just about everything he does? My gosh,” Hirono told The Hill.

She captured headlines Wednesday during Attorney General William Barr’s hearing before the Judiciary Committee, which has three Democrats running for president, when she used a blistering four-minute monologue to accuse him of lying to Congress and to tell him to resign.

4. It says she's earned the nickname "Crazy Mazie"

We need to decide on appellations for all the R senators and use them exclusively. For example, "Putin's Bitch Mitch" or "Lying Lindsey". That's what is needed to push the narrative in the proper direction.
