Suggested first exhibit for the “Hatch Center”: Devote an entire room to pile facsimiles of the billions of dollars Sen. Orrin Hatch has taken from the pockets of Utahns to line the coffers of the pharmaceutical industry.
He was almost single-handedly responsible for the provision that Medicare could not negotiate drug prices. The entire medical industry should be building a shrine to worship him.
The second room could be devoted to years of examples of, frankly, the art of hypocrisy. I agree with Jenny Wilson — a memorial to this career politician should be offensive to anyone but his corporate contributors who, frankly, will never be able to repay their debt to him.
