Orrin Hatch: ‘This Is the Greatest Country in the World, but We Do Have Some Really Stupid People Representing It from Time to Time’

EXCERPT:

HATCH: “So naturally, our friends on the other side, maybe even some on our side, want to hang whatever they can on the CHIP bill, knowing that its — that the American people want it, that senators want it, that the House of Representatives has proven that it wanted it, and they might be able to score a few political points. Well, I want the two leaders to get together and let’s get this matter resolved and let’s quit playing these silly games that are so often played around here. I don’t mind them maybe on bills that are lesser in import in nature. But to do it on the CHIP bill, my gosh, it’s just — it’s incredible to me. Madam President, this is the greatest country in the world, but we do have some really stupid people representing it from time to time. And with that, I probably have gone too far saying that, but it’s — it’s true. And — and it’s disappointing to me."
