At least Sen. Orrin Hatch is consistent. Twenty-seven years ago, Hatch and his cronies perpetrated a vicious attack on Anita Hill. She was thrown under the bus for her allegations of harassment against Clarence Thomas, who went on to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
That was then; this is now. Hatch is again calling the Brett Kavanaugh accuser a fraud and liar. Hatch hasn't changed, but America has. This time, Professor Christine Blasey Ford will be heard. No, Orrin Hatch, Ford isn't mixed up, you still are.
