For a long time, Mazie Hirono thought of herself as one of the quiet ones — hardworking and well-prepared, caring but stoic — formed in the image of the Japanese American women who raised her.
But in recent years, Sen. Hirono, D-Hawaii — the only immigrant serving in the U.S. Senate — has turned heads for her increasingly tough, no-B.S. style and a willingness to challenge not just Republicans but her own Democratic party.
The turning point, she said in an interview with NPR, was catalyzed by the Trump administration and the conduct of the former president himself.

I wonder if she was gang raped , forced to smuggle drugs, beaten then crammed into a holding cell with Covide positive children while storming the border with hundreds of other children? If not fix the f’ing border. Mean hole parents are separating siblings and themselves from their children to get them across the border. The children then sans parents are raped, exploited etc. This is just so humane. I have zero respect for Hirono and the rest of the Democrats letting this crap go on.
