Cruz, Hirono clash at Judiciary hearing; Dem accuses Texan of 'mansplaining'
Fox News
After asking to make a “point of personal privilege” during a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono reportedly accused Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, of “mansplaining” to her about originalism.
"I would request that my colleague, Senator Cruz, not misstate what I’m saying," Hirono, D-Hawaii, said. "You know what, all this mansplaining, please stop." Cruz had told Gelpí that Hirono defended him, claiming he would "not commit to originalism" in his rulings "because originalism would prevent outcomes that she supports." He asked Gelpí if he doesn’t intend to "follow the original understanding of the Constitution?" the Daily Mail reported. Gelpí said he would follow originalism when appropriate.More Related News
