On Wednesday, Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono has allegedly accused Senator Ted Cruz from Texas of “mansplaining” to her about the judicial originalism, Fox News informed.
The clash occurred while the panel was questioning District Court Judge Gustavo Gelpí, Joe Biden’s nominee for the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.
Cruz said to Gelpí that Hirono stood in defense of the nominee, saying that he will “not commit to originalism” in the rulings as the term itself prevents the outcome she actually supports. The Senator then asked Gelpí if he indeed does not intend to follow the originalism school of thought.
Gelpí answered that he would use this school of thought if and when it is appropriate.
