About 20 protesters rallied outside the Salt Lake City office of Sen. Orrin Hatch on Thursday, slamming the Utah Republican for making “inappropriate” comments about the women who have accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.
“He’s been repeating all of the arguments that silence women,” said Liz Rank, 58. “He’s been actively making things worse for any woman who’s been raped or assaulted.”
Hatch is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that heard from Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, on Thursday. Leading up to the dramatic hearing, the senator said Ford must be “mistaken” in her allegations.
