About orrin hatchs comments, yesterday he told the reporters this woman is mixed up, being professor blasey-ford. she has her story mixed up. i dont know what information orrin hatch has the rest of us dont have. maybe he does have more information. but our instinct in 2018 certainly capitol hill seems to be our instinct when anita hill went through this in 1991, that is the accuser must be mixed up, confused or politicizing something. >> caller: that would be beneficial to them to think that sh...
