Crazed Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) went on an angry tirade during Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, attacking Blanche and the Trump administration for the so-called weaponization of the DOJ. 

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) went on to destroy the Democratic Party’s hypocrisy, slamming them for ignoring Biden’s weaponization of government against conservatives. “The other party has zero credibility on this issue,” Grassley said as he exposed the abuses under the previous administration.

To open her examination, Hirono asked Blanche the bizarre questions she asks every judicial and cabinet nominee: “Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?” and “Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement relating to this kind of conduct?”

She then asked Blanche a series of questions, attacking President Trump for nine straight minutes while hardly giving him a chance to respond to various accusations and smears.

Hirono accused Trump of coordinating with the Justice Department and ordering the weaponization of justice against his political enemies, interfering with elections, and helping his friends through pardons of January 6 political prisoners and others who were indicted by the Biden regime.

Ironically, she didn’t mind when Joe Biden ordered the prosecution of President Trump and his allies and coordinated with prosecutors at the state and local levels, including meetings with Georgia prosecutors at the White House before RICO charges were filed against Trump and 18 others in Fulton County.

She concluded her questioning, telling Blanche, “It is clear to me that your leadership is going to be a continuation of what we have seen so far at the Trump Department of Justice, or more likely to be called the Department of Retribution and Corruption.”

“You see nothing wrong with the president treating DOJ as his own personal law firm to use as a weapon against his perceived enemies and as a way of helping his friends and as a tool to interfere with the upcoming elections,” Hirono continued.

“The states run elections in this country, but you want to insert DOJ at every step of the process, suing the states with frivolous claims and sending threatening letters to secretaries of state. You want to suppress the votes of American citizens who will have a chance to resoundingly reject the president’s corruption at the ballot box this November.”

She further attacked Blanche for “eviscerating DOJ’s cryptocurrency enforcement work” and the pardons for innocent January 6 protesters, the weaponization fund meant to compensate them for the abuse, and the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein Files.

“You have no business being the Attorney General of the United States of America. I certainly urge my colleagues to vote against your confirmation.”

Following Hirono’s unhinged line of questioning and ranting, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley stepped in to respond with fire.

Grassley told the Democrats, “I wish you’d spare me the outrage!” He continued, “They cheered on Biden as he weaponized the Justice Department, targeting President Trump, congressional Republicans, parents, Catholics, and conservative Americans nationwide. So, I think that the other party has zero credibility on this issue.”

Notably, this comes after Grassley dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, revealing that according to DOJ records, former Special Counsel Jack Smith and his investigators at the Biden DOJ “reviewed the contents of text [messages] sent by 44 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS” during the Operation Arctic Frost witch hunt.

“Moreover, let’s look at some of the so-called political prosecutions underway. How about the Southern Poverty Law Center? The group’s apparently been funding extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the National Socialist Movement. How about Don Lemon and the ICE protesters? They stormed and intimidated folks in the middle of a church service. Those are not political prosecutions. Protecting the taxpayers and other First Amendment rights is the responsibility of the government and the Justice Department,” Grassley added.
