Washington • Days after making a plea for more civility in public discourse, Sen. Orrin Hatch said Thursday he was tired of the “dumbass” partisanship surrounding the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“We can’t keep going down this partisan, picky, stupid, dumbass road that has happened around here for so long,” Hatch said at a news conference where Republican senators berated their Democratic counterparts for demanding tens of thousands of documents Kavanaugh dealt with as staff secretary to then-President George W. Bush.
"I'm tired of partisanship and frankly, we didn't treat their candidates for these positions the way they're treating ours,” Hatch declared.
