Letter: Hatch embarrasses his own constituency

Sen. Orrin Hatch continues to demonstrate how his age, dogma and patriarchy embarrass his constituency with his recent theatrics surrounding Brett Kavanaugh’s disqualifying missteps for a Supreme Court appointment.
Even the Mormon Women for Ethical Government are against rubber-stamping his appointment and are seemingly embarrassed by Hatch as well.
I’m wondering why the elderly, white, male patriarchy of the LDS hierarchy hasn’t called him on his misogyny.
Wait. I just answered my own question.
