In response to a letter denouncing Mazie Hirono’s no-show for the PBS debate with Bob McDermott, I would submit that Hirono is far too busy to debate a person who supports Donald Trump, an immoral man with unethical positions on family values and equal rights for all citizens (“Hirono skips chance to argue on gender rights,” Star-Advertiser, Oct. 21). McDermott also supports Trump’s position on handing over Ukraine to Vladimir Putin’s regime to end the war in Ukraine, thus supporting a sworn enemy of the United States. Lastly, for the writer to claim that Hirono should not support taxpayer funding of federal social programs, I assume this includes using campaign funds for personal use.
Hirono is a shining star who supports our democracy and is protecting our Constitution from a party who would like to see an authoritarian government. She fights tirelessly to defend our country and equal rights for all Americans, including freedom of choice for women.
