Sen. Orrin Hatch calls Obamacare supporters 'stupidest, dumbass people'--Hey orrin, FUCK YOU

(CNN)Sen. Orrin Hatch says supporters of the Affordable Care Act are the "stupidest, dumbass" people he's ever seen.

Speaking about the massive GOP tax overhaul at the American Enterprise Institute on Thursday, the Utah Republican took some time to blast the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

"We finally did away with the individual mandate tax that was established under that wonderful bill called Obamacare," Hatch said. "Now, if you didn't catch on, I was being very sarcastic. That was the stupidest, dumbass bill that I've ever seen."

"Some of you may have loved it. If you do, you are one of the stupidest, dumbass people I've ever met," Hatch added. "There are a lot of them up there on Capitol Hill from time to time."

While he was always horrible politically, I don't remember him using Trump-like words like "dumbass" before? I always thought he was kind of gentlemanly most of the time, even if he was wrong.

I used to think he was just a run of the mill conservative, but he’s as rude, uninformed, and stupid as the worst Tea Partier.

buy insurance, have a check up, and halt a potentially deadly health problem before it got bad.

That's prevention. Not having preventative care is the stupidest, dumbass idea that repubs love.
