The disrespect towards Amy Coney Barrett is at a new high.

One Democrat Senator took the same approach as she did with  Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination hearing and asked Amy Coney Barret if she ever sexually assaulted someone.

Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii said, “Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors, or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?”

Barret replied by saying “no, Senator”.

Our Pals over at Fox News covered the story see what details they had to share:

Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, asked a question pertaining to an issue that came up quite a bit during Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing but had yet to come up during Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s hearing: whether the Supreme Court nominee had ever sexually assaulted someone.

“Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors, or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?” Hirono asked.

“No, Senator Hirono,” Barrett replied.

“Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?” Hirono then asked.

“No, Senator,” Barrett said.

The Daily Mail contributed to the story too:

Amy Coney Barrett has been asked in her Supreme Court nomination hearing whether she has ever sexually assaulted anyone.

The Senate Judiciary Committee held its second day of hearings for the 48-year-old federal judge on Tuesday.

Mazie Hirono, a senator for Hawaii, asked Barrett a question she said she asks all Supreme Court nominees.

Hirono quoted Chief Justice John Roberts, who in 2017 acknowledged that the judiciary ‘is not immune’ from the problem of sexual misconduct.

She then asked: ‘Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors, or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?’

Barrett replied: ‘No, Senator Hirono.’
