Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch rudely and insensitively told some sexual assault protesters, who included some sexual assault survivors, to "grow up." This shows just how out of touch he is with the current times. He seems cold and heartless, without a hint of compassion. He is leaving Congress at the right time.
