Orrin Hatch has announced that instead of retiring as he promised, he’s gonna run again for the US Senate. Mark Levin isn’t happy about that and rips him in this brief Facebook statement:
Orrin Hatch tops off his career as a liar… https://t.co/pEddIbrHFC
— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) March 10, 2017
When he last ran for the Senate, he promised to be a conservative and he told the voters it would be his last election. He lied both times. But Hatch won’t let go. He holds on to power an aging noble in monarchical times. Hatch has announced he is running for re-election at the urging of President Trump. Should he win he will be 90 years old at the end of his term. I made the mistake of believing this man last time around. That won’t happen again. I would encourage a young, charismatic, articulate conservative to take him on.
As Allahpundit reminds us:
So they gave him one more term after he spent the primary running on his conservative credentials. (Ahem.) He repaid them by turning around the next year and voting for the Gang of Eight bill.
I remember that betrayal well. Levin apologized for endorsing him after that horrendous vote.
And now there’s a chance we’ll have to put up with this phony another 6 years.
