Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, called out Amy Coney Barrett on using the term sexual “preference” instead of sexual orientation. Hirono said that it is an “offensive and outdated term.” Barrett apologized and said, “I certainly didn’t mean and would never mean to use a term that would cause any offense in the LGBTQ community.” Aired on 10/13/2020.

@Magda Guise All information given proves you are a lying runt. My guess is you are indoctrinated.
@My Getaway The only known fact here is that democrats keep putting the word facts in sentences entirely laden with opinion and hearsay. You must not understand how money, debt, jobs or the economy works. President Donald J Trump does and he got America out of the worst depression seen in 100 years. A recession from none other than the deeply incompetent & racist Obama family. It seems to be the default for you runt democrats, that you find your deepest faults and worst failures, and try your utmost to pin every last crumb on a Republican.
This woman is dangerous.
A FLIM tho
Yup, Hirono is disgusting
@lordpappanqui It has always been the White Nationalist dream to fill all the judicial court with White Nationalist judges so they can make laws that allow them to do racial things to minority.
To you Marxists, god, I hope so. She will uphold the Constitution, a document very few of you anti-Americans know anything about.
@lordpappanqui No, the majority of people think the same way she does. That’s why they call you radical.
Barret is another Bill Barr. Only difference is that she will continue to stink long after Trump is gone.
@Z. Deutch – So you didn’t listen to her and just gulp down MSM op-ed shamelessly…. ok, got it.
@Richard MacLean – You send the bills to no one… our tax $ already funded your service pay and benefits. Thanks for your service, now stfu.
Jerome Hugh facts
@Maite Jorge He can’t even spell her name.
Good! She will be around a lot longer than you commies! Civil war can’t get here soon enough!
So, even Barrett’s apology shows her unconscious bias coming through; her inability to be unbiased and impartial is very clear as she has shown.
@Tara Reade Nope. Any nominee that doesnt believe we are all equal is unqualified. Period.
#SubservientACB
@M18 Hellcat Yup, that too would describe t’rump, who needs two hands to drink a glass of water.
😅😂🤣
@Mary Sue Echols Who said she thinks like that? How do you feel about Trump supporters?
@Ro G I got hairy legs,that,that,that,that,that turn blonde in the sun and kids would rub my legs and jump on my lap and that taught me about roaches! Athlete’s Foot Face Dementia Joe Kid Touch Corn Pops Fingers! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
@Tara Reade 👈 Says the person / woman / man who comments under two different names: Tara and Bud.
National Coming Out Day was this week. I applaud your bravery. 👏
I find it interesting that they’re trying to get an idea if this person is mentally, as well as professionally qualified for the job ahead and her main response has been she is not qualified, she is not comfortable answering questions.
If Trump loses the election, how ironic will it be that he appointed Barrett to the SC, as he’s nowhere even CLOSE to her ‘ideologically’
@Beautiful Dayzee then maybe she is a good pick?
Not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice.
Well, you are the renowned expert
@William H Music 2020 So William, since you troll around here for months now, what’s your sexual preference? If you care so much about what others are into we’d like to hear about the filthy fetishes YOU and your alt-accounts are into. I’m sure you’re into the real nasty stuff, am i right? 😉
Yep, Barrett was cocooned in Notre Dame for 20 years so that she would not have a judicial record. Her handlers got her the recent Judge appointment so she could claim experience, but they made sure she would not be there long enough to make any serious rulings.
@Bella Borges she has 3 years experience, and they want her as a SCOTUS?? Terrible idea!
Any nominee that doesn’t believe we are all equal is unqualified. Period.
Can’t believe this is 2020, not 1620.
#SubservientACB
Interracial marriage wasn’t originally in the Constitution either! 🤦♀️
What I mean is that it’s appearance in the Constitution should not be the litmus test to it’s need to be ruled on and made *very rightly* the Law of the Land!
That’s why originalism is crap.
@Irene Powell I agree 100%!!
Exactly. The Republicans always have some asinine answer that all should just accept.
@Robin Potter and it’s nearly always [definitely always] based on their religious ideology.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit say male and female only.
What GOD SAYS GOES.
“Male and female created He them.”
There is no such thing in God’s View as “sexual preference.” God gives NOBODY that “option.”
Isn’t that too bad for this rebellious world that in vain fights The Living GOD?
Never ever “apologize” to anyone that gets “offended” for what God has already established forever.
Man never determines what truth and right is, ONLY THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT DOES.
Daily Reminder: Trump called Corona Virus a Democrat Hoax that will “magically” disappear.
@Beardedcap It’s there. Look for it. Not hard to find.
@Gary Campbell It comes directly out of his fat mouth. At one of his cult rallies.
@William H Music 2020 TROLL
@Paul Ferrante Yes I saw that one, did you not see the cut at 0:26 where they completely took it out of context? He was saying them talking about impeaching him over it and politicizing it was a hoax, even your snopes says it’s not true
@Jimmy Bagodonuts How long did it take for the 1918 ‘Spanish’ flu to disappear? It’s still with us, and it kills tens of thousands every year.

She double talks. Sad what republicans are trying to do to this country to appease such a small percentage of the people.
@Sykotik Shadow As a disabled US ARMY veteran and Christian I was taught it’s not MY role to force my opinions down other people’s throats!! It’s not christ-like and it runs contrary to Jesus’s teachings.. I served this country to protect EVERYONE’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE even those that make choices I disagree with.. And I have no problem with that!! Maybe if more Christians excersized more grace in others choices-espically in the excersize of those choices, our country would not be so polarized and divided as it is today. FREEDOM=CHOICE!
Not a small percentage. What makes you think its a small percentage? The media?
@Laura Zaboraski Sad what democrats are trying to do to this country to appease such a small percentage of the people.
@Gary Kubodera that is spot on and I thank you for your service. It’s hard to find Christians who can share this same view.
Double talks and condescending – a trump gem
The “clutching of the pearls”, is a tale-tell sign of lying.
Kamala had the same mannerisms but I doubt you’d point that out.
Thanks for pointing that out. Amy’s a classic pearl clutcher.

Based on what? Your vast experience with interrogation? I think you just watch too much leftist Hollywood shows..
@Jeff Woods 🤫Hush child. The adults are talking.
She’s Biased already, Judgemental, in a Bad way.
She has too many personal opinions to be a judge
@superiorxinferior Man, I’m just listening and if you’re apologizing you’re lying.
Or at least up to something you originally thought. My old girl is like that, and catch her when we were arguing or debating in the house she’d act like she never wrong. Lol
Every judge is biased. But are they biased towards the truth? Or in favor of falsehoods?
I’m personally a left sided individual, and I think this would be a wording error I could see myself make. The important piece of this video I think is that she clearly apologized for the mistake. If anything that’s good? I understand the frustration that she’s even being considered right now, I really do. But let’s look at this objectively, it’s all we can do.
I am overwhelmed with joy right now , I can now pay my bills and take good care of my family , thank you for bringing happiness to my home Mr Daniel, with just an investment of $ 1,000 I got back my profits in 6 days I’ m very much excited.

“I would never say anything offensive to the LGBTQ community (because it would hurt my image).” trump is poison and EVERYONE he endorses is suspect.
Everyone he endorses is his bootlicker before long.
Barrett is lying. Notre Dame LGBTQ students have said Barrett refused to acknowledge them.
“…I’ll just undermine their rights”
ACB is now in bed with Trump. Don’t believe a word she says. All lies- can’t work for Trump unless you have that Down pat.
@Chancy Dancy I remember the first few months of this nightmare, trump invited Comey to dinner to demand “loyalty to me”. Comey only agreed to loyalty to the American people. Wasn’t good enough.
Double talk, when answering a few questions. She’s manipulative.
There was a room full of politicians so you will need to clarify who you are talking about
@Modulus Five The one answering the questions, meaning Coney Barrett.
I disagree, that’s a Politician, not a Judge speaking
She’ll bring everything down a few notches. Evidently we haven’t gone backwards enough yet.
Soeak for yourself
That’s what you get when you introduce “Intelligent Design” into the Schoolbooks, 20 years later it shows.
Marriage, as a “defind” right does not exist anywhere within the Constitution, the thing is, according to the 9th Amendment TO the United States Constitution, they do NOT have to be defined within it.
Never trust anyone who presses a hand to their chest when apologising.
She has a cold heart, another blimp.
Yup, and Never trust a person named Trump!

@Matt Foley eww
THIS WOMAN IS HOW “DANGER” LOOKS LIKE.
@Kevin Lee Shut up and go pay for my VA healthcare… Oh wait, pathetic fake patriot, Donald Trump just canceled it. How patriotic are you? Pay up or shut up. Who do I send the bill to for the years I spent in the Air Force defending your freedom of speech. You screw me. How do I screw you?

@William H Music 2020 troll not a hole
@Richard MacLean thank you for your service wh is a troll not a hole
Funny, that’s how the other half views Harris. To each his own.
The Donald Trump presidency is the culmination of decades of the Conservative media selling fear, conspiracy theories and victimization to anti-science Christian extremists who believe that they alone have a divine right to control American society.
Conservative Evangelicals approve of Barrett for reasons beyond her motherhood etc. Right wing religious agenda has been obvious for decades.
Senator Hirono should have asked Amy Covid Barrett when she made up her mind and decided her sexual preference was to be a heterosexual female.
