“I am spending every minute of my day fighting the Republicans who are desperate to rush Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination and deny fair investigation into the credible sexual misconduct allegations against him,” the letter reads, in part.
Hirono famously told men to “shut up” and to “do the right thing for once” when the allegations against Kavanaugh were first brought into the public sphere.
