    Brian Klaas Retweeted Garrett Haake

    Asked about Dr. Ford’s credibility, Orrin Hatch mentions that “She’s an attractive person.” Good grief.https://twitter.com/GarrettHaake/status/1045355209445257218 …

    Brian Klaas added,

    Garrett HaakeVerified account @GarrettHaake
    Senator @OrrinHatch asked if Ford has been credible so far: “It’s too early to make those kinds of determinations, but she’s a good witness. Articulate. She’s an attractive person. But I think it’s a little early to make those kinds of determinations.”

        Instead of asking for his opinion, someone should tell him "Don't worry your pretty little head about it"....then maybe he'll GET IT..

        @OrrinHatch needs to retire. Desperately. We all know attractiveness is key to credibility. Don't we? (Being sarcastic, folks!)

        It deeply scares me that this is what he sees. Also, how has he not listened to the legions of Mormon women who have requested his attention on this.

        Orrin Hatch is objectively not an attractive person in any way.

        I still think it is due to a failure of education of our citizenry, and I mean education of conscience and spirit in a deep and progressive way, that GOP malevolents have the power to steal for themselves and cause the suffering of many many others. Hatch is shallow and arrogant

        This demeaning statement by Hatch illustrates how clueless these 11 Repub men are to the Me-Too movement. To base a witnesses credibility, especially one who is as accomplished as Dr. Ford on her looks shows how insensitive and biased he is. Woman and men won't forget Nov. 6th.

        Please see this! Mark Judge wrote abt a man, depressed bc he'd "witnessed a rape but done nothing to stop it." In his "SPLENDOR OF BLISS: SEX CATHOLICISM AND ROCK 'ROLL" he also wrote abt his party at 17...a "friend" cleaned the "mess"...sex with "Donna." His books are a trail!pic.twitter.com/tnBeIOwVJy
