ORRIN HATCH WAS RECENTLY SPEAKING AT THE AMERICAN
ENTERPRISE
INSTITUTE AND DURING HIS SPEECH, HE DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE
COMMENTARY IN REGARD TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THE
PORTABLE CARE ACT OR OBAMA CARE AS IT IS ALSO KNOWN, AND HE
DECIDED TO INSULT PEOPLE.
LET'S HAVE SOME FUN, LET'S YOU HE HAD TO SAY.
WE ALSO FINALLY DID AWAY WITH THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE TAX THAT
WAS ESTABLISHED UNDER THAT WONDERFUL BILL CALLED OBAMACARE.
NOW, IF YOU DIDN'T CATCH ON, I WAS BEING VERY SARCASTIC.
IT WAS THE STUPIDEST, DUMBASS BILL THAT I'VE EVER SEEN.
NOW SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE LOVED IT.
IF YOU DO, YOU ARE ONE OF THE STUPIDEST DUMBASS PEOPLE
I'VE EVER MET.
AND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM UP ON CAPITOL HILL FROM
TIME TO TIME.
SO FOR THOSE WHO BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT, ORRIN HATCH BELIEVES THAT YOU ARE A STUPID DUMB
ASS AND SO HE IS NOT SEEKING REELECTION AS WE KNOW.
HE HAS DECIDED TO KIND OF ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE TO RUN FOR HIS SEAT
AND MITT ROMNEY IS PLANNING ON DOING SO, BUT WHAT I THINK IS
INTERESTING IS THAT HE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A HISTORY OF
SPEAKING LIKE THIS AND I AM GOING TO BRING UP THE HISTORY IN
JUST A SECOND, BUT QUICKLY, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE DEEPER PERCENT
OF AMERICANS DO VIEW OBAMACARE FAVORABLY COMPARED TO 42%
WHO HAVE AN UNFAVORABLE VIEW.
THIS IS BASED ON A RECENT SURVEY THAT WAS DONE BY THE KAISER
FAMILY FOUNDATION.
ALSO:
SO THAT IS A LITTLE UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THE REPEAL OF THE
INDIVIDUAL MANDATE WILL LEAD TO HIGHER PREMIUMS AND SO
HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT THE.
, REPUBLICANS ARE THE ONES WHO WANTED TO DO AWAY WITH THAT
MANDATE BUT HE HAS APOLOGIZED BECAUSE HE DIDN'T BASE A
LITTLE BIT OF BACKLASH DUE TO THOSE COMMENTS.
HE SAID:
BUT IF YOU LOOK BACK LITERALLY SEVEN YEARS AGO TODAY YOU
WILL SEE THAT ORRIN HATCH MADE SIMILAR COMMENTS.
TAKE A LOOK.
HE IS THE BIGGEST ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN IN THE COUNTRY.
NOW HE IS TRYING TO PRETEND TO BE POPULIST AND HIP, SO
HERE'S WHAT HE SAYS TO THE CROWD.
EVERY STATE HAS DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS.
EVERY STATE HAS DIFFERENT PROBLEMS.
IT'S GOOD TO ALLOW THEM TO WORK OUT THEIR OWN PROBLEMS
RATHER THAN A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT DUMB ASS PROGRAM.
IT REALLY IS AN AWFUL PIECE OF
CRAP.
THAT'S AWESOME.
FIRST OF ALL, HATCH HAS HASN'T CURSED IN 30 YEARS.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE CURSES IN PRIVATE OR IF HE DOESN'T
BUT HE IS A VERY STIFF GUY.
HE IS NOT THE KIND OF GUY THAT GOES AROUND DROPPING F
BOMBS LIKE DICK CHENEY OR ROB EMANUEL.
SO FOR HIM TO THROW OUT THOSE CURSES, HE DIDN'T SLIP UP.
HE IS DOING IT ON PURPOSE.
HE IS DOING IT TO BE LIKE LOOK AT HOW ANGRY I AM.
I AM SO PASSIONATE, LIKE YOU TEA PARTIERS.
WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP THAT IS, I HATE OBAMA.
THAT IS FUNNY.
I THINK I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING THIS TIME.
IT'S SO GOOD YOU CAN REPEAT IT.
I THINK THAT WAS BACK WHEN I WAS ON MSNBC AND I WAS
SHOOTING IT --
THAT WAS WHEN YOU WERE OUT OF NEW YORK.
IT IS TRUE, HE IS TRYING TO RELATE TO PEOPLE AND BY THE
WAY, THIS IS BIPARTISAN.
A LOT OF DEMOCRATS ARE NOW CURSING, BUT LIKE CURSING
TO APPEAR TO BE POPULIST BECAUSE THEY REALIZE POPULISM
IS TAKING OVER THE COUNTRY.
I REALLY WANT TO DO ANYTHING THE POPULIST ONE LIKE US OF THE
PEOPLE SO INSTEAD I WILL REPLACE THAT WITH CRAP AND POOPY
PANTS AND I AM NOT OFFENDED BY WHAT HE SAID.
I DO NOT CARE.
SO HE THINKS THAT PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT OBAMA CARE ARE DUMB
ASSES.
I THINK HE IS A DUMB ASS, WE ARE EVEN.
I THINK CIVILITY IS
OVERRATED.
YOU CAN BOMB THE HELL OUT OF COUNTRIES AND KILL A LOT OF
CIVILIANS, BUT IF YOU CALL SOMEONE A DUMB ASS IN
WASHINGTON, YOU ARE NOT IN THE CLUB ANYMORE SO WE ARE
GETTING RID OF THOSE STUPID RULES, GREAT.
I WOULD LIKE SOME CONSISTENCY THOUGH BECAUSE WHEN HILLARY
CLINTON CALLED REPUBLICAN VOTERS DEPLORABLE'S THEY WERE LIKE
HOW COULD YOU?
SO MANY CALLS 54% OF THE COUNTRY DUMB ASSES, OKAY, I GUESS I
SHOULD HAUNT HIM THE REST OF HIS CAREER.
BUT I THINK WHEN HILLARY CLINTON DID SAY THAT IT WAS DISGUSTING.
REALLY?
I DO.
I THINK THEY ARE DEPLORABLE.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN PAINT WITH SUCH BROAD BRUSH
STROKES WITH AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE WITHOUT TALKING TO THEM.
I HAVE TALKED TO THEM ONLINE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
SIMILARLY LET ME BE CLEAR.
NOT ALL REPUBLICANS ARE.
SHE
SAID ABOUT HALF THE TERMS VOTERS ARE DEPLORABLE.
PEOPLE LEAVE THAT PART OUT.
THE OTHER HALF YOU CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO AND CONVINCE AND
ACTUALLY HAVE REAL CONCERNS ABOUT THE ECONOMY, ETC.
IT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE BEST STATEMENTS IN MY
OPINION SHE'S MADE.
NOT BEFORE THE VOTE.
IT WASN'T GOOD FOR THE VOTE SOUND BITE.
I EVEN DISAGREE WITH THAT.
WE ARE ALREADY HAVING FUN, LOTS OF DISAGREEMENTS ON THE PANEL.
THE REASON I THINK I COULD'VE WORKED IF SHE HADN'T BACKPEDALED
AND PANT MINUTES ABOUT IS, AND THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE DIAMINE
POST TO THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS AND TO THE VOTERS
WHO VOTE THAT WAY AND SO LET'S GET IT ON.
IF SHE HAD THAT FIGHTING ATTITUDE SHE MIGHT HAVE ONE.
BUT I THINK SHE SHOULD'VE DIRECTED AT THE
POLITICIANS, NOT A POTENTIAL VOTERS.
I ALSO THINK, I MEAN, I THINK IF SHE HAD RUN MORE LIKE THE,
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE CANDIDATE.
REMEMBER HOW SHE SPOKE AT THE BENGHAZI HEARINGS AND AS
MOST PEOPLE KNOW, I AM A MAJOR BERNIE BRO SO I SAY THAT
WITH, TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT BUT THAT IS HOW I
THINK SHE SHOULD'VE RUN SO I AGREE WITH YOU IF SHE HAD
MORE OF US BITING YOUR FIGHTING SPIRIT SHE WOULD'VE RELATED
TO THE BASE MORE.
I THINK SHE WOULD'VE LOST PEOPLE WHO ARTIE HATE HER AND FIND HER
UNCOMFORTABLE FOR GENDER REASONS, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN
GONE ANYWAY, BUT I THINK THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE WOULD HAVE
EXCITED PEOPLE SO I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT, BUT I AGREE WITH
YOU ON THE IDEA THAT IT IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD THING
TO KIND OF INSOLVENCY PEOPLE.
I THINK IT JUST FEEDS INTO
DEMOCRATS BEING SMUG ELITIST COME OUT OF TOUCH.
I JUST THINK IT IS INTERESTING THAT THERE IS A
DOUBLE STANDARD.
LOOK, I THINK IN ANY OTHER ELECTION
I WOULD AGREE THAT IT IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GO ABOUT IT,
TO SAY DISPARAGING THINGS ABOUT THE OPPONENTS SUPPORTERS,
HOWEVER, AND THE TRUMPET ERA, AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE
CAMPAIGN, WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE TYPE OF RHETORIC THAT THEY
USED WHEN THEY WERE ATTACKING HER, AND WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THE TYPE OF RHETORIC THAT TRUMP HIMSELF USED IN ATTACKING
OTHER WOMEN, FOR SOME REASON THEY GET A PASS, RIGHT?
DONíT WE WANT POLITICIANS THAT ARE ABOVE THAT?
WE ARE PASSED THAT, IT'S OVER.
MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS SAD AND SOMETHING WE SHOULD
REALLY CONSIDER REVERTING BACK TO, BUT I THINK HER DEPLORABLE
COMMENT WAS ACCURATE.
WERE TALKING ABOUT TWO THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
STRATEGY TACTICS ON THE ONE HAND AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
MORAL ETHICAL QUESTIONS ON THE OTHER.
I THINK WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT UNDERLINING YOU ARE SAYING
THIS ABOUT CIVILITY BEING OVERRATED.
I DO NOT CARE IF YOU SPEAK IN A NICE, SWEET DIPLOMATIC WAY
WHILE YOU ARE DEPRIVING PEOPLE OF THEIR HEALTHCARE,
REQUEST I WOULD RATHER YOU BE GRUFF AND CRUDE AND
FIGHTING FOR PEOPLE'S LITERAL LIVES, RIGHT?
FIGHTING TO GET PEOPLE HEALTHCARE THAN YOU BE
POLITE AND ALSO LITERALLY DEPRIVING PEOPLE OF LIFE.
I THINK CIVILITY CAN BE WEAPON ICED OFTEN IN A WAY TO
COVER UP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ACTUALLY I FIND THAT MUCH
MORE DISGUSTING THAN SAYING A DUMBEST THING TO
THE IRONY OF THIS, IS THAT ORRIN HATCH WAS ACTUALLY CALLING
SOME CONSERVATIVES AND SOME REPUBLICANS STUPID DUMB ASS
PEOPLE BECAUSE TOMI LAHREN WAS ON OBAMACARE AND THERE WERE
SEVERAL GOVERNORS IN RED STATES WHO ARE RETICENT TO SUPPORT
CERTAIN REPEAL ACTIONS BECAUSE THEY FELT LIKE IT HAD THE CHANCE
OF NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THEIR CONSTITUENT'S HEALTH.
AGAIN, FOR ME I NEVER THINK IT IS WISE TO GENERALIZE SO BROADLY
AND I THINK IT JUST MAKES HIM LOOK, IT MAKES HIM LOOK NOT WISE
I WOULD SAY AND THAT IS WHY HE HAD TO WALK THESE COMMENTS BACK.
I ACTUALLY THINK THE COMMENTS THAT HE MADE WEREN'T IN AN
ATTEMPT TO REACH OUT TO, HE IS NOT RUNNING FOR REELECTION.
I THINK HE IS GENUINE AND THINKING OF THESE PEOPLE AS
SO-CALLED DUMB ASSES.
I THINK IT HAS NOTHING TO LOSE, I'M SURPRISED EVEN APOLOGIZED
I DO NOT THINK HE CARES ABOUT APPEALING TO ANYONE RIGHT NOW.
IT IS FASCINATING HOW MUCH WE DISAGREE ON THIS ISSUE IN A
LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
BUT I DO AGREE WITH SIMONE THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN
OFFENDING A LOT OF REPUBLICANS BECAUSE HE WAS SPEAKING AT
A RIGHT-WING THINK TAKE AND IT HAPPENED TO BE THE AMERICAN
ENTERPRISE INTO STUPID I HAD TO CHECK, WAS THE HERITAGE
FOUNDATION BECAUSE IF HE WAS SPEAKING AT THE RIGHT WING
THINKING OF HERITAGE FOUNDATION THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CAME
UP WITH THE PLAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
ROMNEY CARE?
IT WAS THE RIGHT WING THINK TANK, THEN ROMNEYCARE,
THEN OBAMA ADOPTED IT.
IT WAS INITIALLY A REPUBLICAN PLAN
SO HE IS IN A SENSE CALLING REPUBLICANS THAT CAME UP WITH
THAT
PLAN DUMB ASSES BUT ONE MORE THING TO KATIE'S POINT,
CIVILITY, IF EVERYONE IS CIVIL AND NO ONE IS TOO HARSH, WHAT IT
DOES IS IT PROTECTS THE STATUS QUO AND THE PEOPLE IN
POWER AND PEOPLE WITH PRIVILEGE WANT TO PROTECT THE STATUS
QUO SO THAT IS WHY THEY VALUE CIVILITY.
I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULDN'T VALUE CIVILITY AT ALL.
I WANT PEOPLE TO RESPECT EACH OTHER SPACE AND STUFF BUT
WHEN YOU OVERVALUE CIVILITY IT IS USUALLY TO SAY HEY, EVERYBODY
PIPE DOWN, YOU ARE A LITTLE TOO EXCITED, SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE
HEALTHCARE, WE BOMB CIVILIANS, DON'T GET SO WORKED UP.
JUST KEEP GOING WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.
IT'S DECORUM OVER ACTUAL POLICY.
BUT ARE WE THEN SAYING BIPARTISANSHIP
SHOULDN'T EXIST IN OUR CURRENT CLIMATE?
IT 100% DEPENDS.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY AGREED TO.
RIGHT NOW, UNFORTUNATELY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DECADES
BIPARTISANSHIP HAS MEANT WE BOTH AGREED TO WHAT OUR CORPORATE
DONORS WANT, SO IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT THEY AGREED TO, IT IS
A MUST ALWAYS TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE RICH AND POWERFUL.
LOOK AT WHAT THEY DISAGREED 2.
INNOCENCE, TO BE FAIR TO A LOT OF DEMOCRATS, MOST REGRETS
BUT IT AGAINST A BUT TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH AND FOR
CORPORATIONS BUT IN THE PAST, JUST MAGICALLY WHENEVER THE
DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE REPUBLICANS ARE IN CHARGE
THE ONLY THING THEY CAN AGREE TO HIS TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH.
UNDER BUSH THERE WERE TAX CUT FOR THE RICH AND WITH OBAMA
THERE WAS THE APPEARANCE OF ROLLING
THEM BACK BUT HE ACTUALLY ONLY ROLLED BACK 6% OF THAT REVENUE.
94% OF THAT REVENUE ACTUALLY BECAME PERMANENT.
THE
TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH BECAME PERMANENT OVER OBAMA.
NOW UNDER TRUMP, AGAIN THEY AGREE ON TAX CUTS FOR THE
RICH.
IT ISN'T A COINCIDENCE.
ON THE OTHER HAND IF WE HAD A CLEAN SYSTEM, ONE THAT WAS
NOT DRENCHED IN MONEY AND PRIVATE FINANCING
OF ELECTIONS AND I WOULD LOVE BIPARTISANSHIP BECAUSE THEN
THEY WOULD BE TRYING TO SERVE THEIR VOTERS AND TO YOUR
POINT, MOST OF THE VOTERS, NOW ALL.
OBVIOUSLY WE DISAGREE ON THAT, BUT MOST OF THE VOTERS A
GREAT DIVE YOU LOOK AT THE ISSUES, USUALLY THEY ARE ABOVE
60% AGREEMENT.
PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, HIGHER WAGES AND YOU
GO DOWN THE LIST.
THOSE OTHER THINGS THE POLITICIANS TODAY ALL VOTE
AGAINST.
