Powerful Judiciary Committee Republican Waves Off Women Rape Survivors and Tells Them to ‘Grow Up’

U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), like many Republicans in the Senate today, was confronted by a group of women, including rape survivors. The women, who are trying to convince Republicans to vote against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, challenged Hatch. At 84 years old Sen. Hatch is the longest-serving Republican Senator in the history of the U.S., and as the President pro tempore of the Senate is the second-highest ranking member of the body.

“Why aren’t you brave enough to talk to us and exchange with us?” one of the women asked, as The Hill reports. Senator Hatch waved her off with his hand.

“Don’t you wave your hand at me!” she responded.

As the Utah Senator who has steadfastly defended Kavanaugh walked into the elevator – where the activists are not allowed – he told them, “When you grow up I’ll be glad to.”

“How dare you talk to women that way?” one of the protestors charged.

Once inside, Sen. Hatch waved goodbye condescendingly to the women.
