Hirono Statement on President’s State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI) released the following statement after the President's State of the Union Address:

"Tonight, Donald Trump spewed more lies in an attempt to distract from the chaos, cruelty, corruption, and incompetence that have come to define his second term. In Hawaii and across the country, families are living with fear and uncertainty about paying their bills, being torn apart, and the safety of our nation-all because of Trump and his lawless regime.

"Despite Trump's empty rhetoric, the facts are clear: prices are soaring, our democracy is under threat, and Donald Trump is focused solely on keeping his power and enriching himself and his billionaire buddies. I refused to sit through two hours of his lies, but I will keep standing with families in Hawaii and across the country to lower costs, defend our democracy, and protect our communities."
