Cruz Humiliated Hirono, ‘Task Force on Violent Anti-Government Extremism’ Explained, Democrat Storms Out

An explosive Senate hearing on Anti-Government extremism on Tuesday exposed the radical left’s own anti-Government beliefs when far-left radical Democrat Senator Maize Senator Hirono from Hawaii, stomped out of the hearing room after making a plea to ignore historic violent uprisings around the country, calling the “Freedom of Speech” and tried to shame the chairman for having the hearing.

“I am leaving,” Hirono said.

I will be giving testimony to Congress today at the Senate hearing on anarchist violence. It will be live-streamed starting at 2:30 p.m. EST.

Highlights:

Jonathan Turley testified about Antifa and said,”It often appears that Antifa is either the new al Qaeda or the new “Big Foot.” President Trump wants Antifa classified as a terrorist organization while various Democratic politicians insist it is just a conservative phantom.”

This actually could be the pilot for Survivor: Capitol Hill where senators vote themselves off the island. The good thing is that it meant I could make it home for the Cubs game.

Democrats insist that the uprisings are peaceful.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz humiliated Hirono as she barked at him off-mike after she shut off her mike, scolding him, saying that Republicans use deaths for making political points, defending Black Lives Matter.  “We have a pesky thing called Freedom of Speech, and we should all join hands and denounce violent extremism.  You are not listening, and I am not listening anymore. I am leaving,” Hirono said.

“She said nothing negative about Antifa,” Cruz said. “You’re welcome to say something negative about Antifa right now.”

Hirono refuses again. Walks out of the room.

What the White House is combatting is an increase in crimes and violent uprisings meant to help defund local police departments.

The radical left's anti-police agenda is jeopardizing Americans' safety

Journalist Andy Ngo, who has studied Antifa and other violent groups,  testified that Democrats refused to listen to the amount of violence that was unfolding.

"Representatives from the other side of the aisle refused to touch on Antifa or leftist violence, choosing instead to note all of their concerns with white supremacist groups. Senator Mazie Hirono would not acknowledge that Antifa is violent." https://t.co/8HhcE0uGTN
