U.S. Sen. Mazi Hirono (D-HI) recently told men to “just shut up and step up” in the aftermath of sexual assault accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has some explaining to do.
Per Fox News:
Data show that Hawaii’s Hirono has taken money from a fellow Democrat who has admitted hitting his wife.
U.S. Sen. Tom Carper’s First State PAC donated $1,000 to Hirono’s political campaign in June, despite the Delaware lawmaker’s confession of abuse.
Carper admitted to hitting his wife during a taped deposition given as part of a child custody battle. The Delaware lawmaker’s ex-wife accused him of striking her “so hard he gave her a black eye” while his children were allegedly “slapped around and bruised by Carper for doing such things as leaving the family dog on the bed.”
The 71-year-old Carper won Delaware’s Democratic primary earlier this fall.
