I always thought Hatch was one of those conservative Republicans who had integrity. As happens occasionally, I was completely wrong.
The Salt Lake City Tribune labeled Hatch the “Utahn of the year” on Monday, but it was not a compliment. The paper stated Hatch had an “utter lack of integrity that rises from his unquenchable thirst for power.”
Before Trump signed the tax bill, Hatch told Trump, “You’re one heck of a leader.” The Tribune said the dismantling of the Bears Ears National Monument was basically a political favor granted by Trump in return for Hatch’s support of the corporate tax giveaway.
The lack of patriotism and personal courage among some of these old Republican members of Congress–McCain, Graham, Hatch, Collins–is depressing. Toomey, of course, is not in that group, since he never had any integrity to begin with.
