Sen. Orrin Hatch Threatens To Punch ‘Radical Libertarians’ In The Mouth

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) adopted a combative tone in a recent interview with NPR where he said that he is “doggone offended” by libertarians. He told NPR “I despise these people” and implied that he is happy to intimidate those that “dump on” him with threats of violence.

“These people are not conservatives. They’re not Republicans,” Hatch angrily responds. “They’re radical libertarians and I’m doggone offended by it.”

Then Hatch, a former boxer, turns combative. “I despise these people, and I’m not the guy you come in and dump on without getting punched in the mouth.”

Hatch is facing a stiff primary challenge in Utah from his right. He is being challenged for his seat in the Senate by state Sen. Dan Liljenquist and state Rep. Chris Herrod. The challenge to Hatch’s quest for a seventh term is in doubt.
