Sen. John McCains (R-Ariz.) reported request to have Donald Trump stay away from his funeral is not sitting well with fellow Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).
I think its ridiculous, the 83-year-old Hatch told Politico on Monday. McCain reportedly wants Vice President Mike Pence to represent the White House instead.
Hatch thinks Trump is getting a bad rap.
Well, hes the president of the United States and hes a very good man, the senator said of Trump.

But there will be a lovely wake; the music will include " Happy Days Are Here Again."

(48,955 posts)as Trump's denigration of McCain acting as a senator in his serving his constituents - but voting against the president (uhm - Constitution, Orrin), is ridiculous.
Puhleeze. Dude, you are not running again. Why are you so disrespectful towards your long time colleague so that you can serve the new Trumpian tribe? Oh ya, you have decades of experience of playing the role of party tool.
Dude, why do you keep publicly burning up any small remains of self respect at the alter of Trump aka the cult of the golden calf/er cheetoh?

(25,899 posts)The two life events where people should only have to invite those they want there. Unfortunately, a lot of couples get pressured into inviting people to their wedding that they don't want there. But a funeral? The honoree absolutely should have the last say in who will be there.

Shut up Hatch you are a disgrace.

(13,616 posts)That you and Mitt Romney sold your soul to the Trump devil, even though both of you knew better, and both of you had a support network, the one GOP support network that could tell Trump to back off.
I hope that the two of you enjoy your eventual destination in what your church politely calls "the outer darkness".

If Hatch is so upset about this I suggest he request trump the pu**y grabber to do the eulogy when his time is due.
