Rep. Gabbard accuses fellow Dems of stoking ‘bigotry’ for questioning court pick's Knights of Columbus ties

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, appeared to accuse fellow Democrats of stoking “religious bigotry” this week for their questioning of a Trump judicial pick’s Knights of Columbus membership.

“While I oppose the nomination of Brian Buescher to the U.S. District Court in Nebraska, I stand strongly against those who are fomenting religious bigotry, citing as disqualifiers Buescher’s Catholicism and his affiliation with the Knights of Columbus,” Gabbard said in an op-ed for The Hill on Tuesday.

Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, raised concerns about lawyer Buescher's membership in the Catholic organization as part of the Senate Judiciary Committee's review of his nomination by President Trump to sit on the U.S. District Court in Nebraska.

Essentially a nothing burger, but I found interesting for the Gabbard vs Hirono aspect.  Both on the surface as well as wondering what's going on below the surface. 

May be she like Hirono's seat in da Senate.

Wait so she talks about this, but not about the Muslim senator who probably will not abide by the constitution because the Koran forbids it.  The only law is of Allah (Sharia law).

May be she like Hirono's seat in da Senate.

At minimum.  I was thinking higher aspirations. 

Well if nothing else I am happy she is calling Hirono out on her BS.
