I have cancelled my meeting with Judge Kavanaugh. @realDonaldTrump, who is an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal matter, does not deserve the courtesy of a meeting with his nominee—purposely selected to protect, as we say in Hawaii, his own okole. — Senator Mazie Hirono (@maziehirono) August 22, 2018

— Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), publicly announcing in the wake of Michael Cohen implicating the president in his criminal plea deal, that she she has canceled her meeting with Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee for the vacancy on the Supreme Court. (If you’re curious, okole is the Hawaiian word for “the buttocks” or “the backside.”)
