Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii faced mockery on social media on Thursday over her opening questions to Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum during his confirmation hearing.
"As part of my responsibilities to ensure the fitness of nominees before any of the committees on which I sit, I ask the following two initial questions," Hirono said to Burgum on Thursday. "First is, 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?"
"Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?" "I have not," Burgum said.
"I have not," Burgum said.

They still haven't recognized their pseudo-sanctimony as being one of their greatest detractors. Beyond redemption?
Great response Father! My discernment suggests the honest response to your proposed question! To borrow an applicable word from my Jewish friends-it takes a lot of "chutzpah" ( English word "hubris" comes close) on the part of the "Gentle Lady", Senator Hirono to dare to ask such a question- especially given the fact that members of congress have a taxpayer funded "slush fund" to cover them should they be accused of "sexual improprieties"!
With his self-admitted background, you would not hire him for a position in your parish, would you? I thought not. Neither should his protestations about "having found Jesus" alter that judgment.
Politicians are voted for or hired for their ability to do a secular job. None of these are church jobs in case you didn’t know.
Huh? I asked if YOU would hire him for a job in a parish where you were pastor. The answer is, "No," because, with his many faults, he is too risky to put on the payroll. But, OOOOOH, if it's a secular job, he's a shoe-in.
Nonsense.
I guess you would have hired Joe Biden as your Prolife coordinator and how to pardon your miscreant son without any penance for the sake of Justice.
