Orrin Hatch says it is ridiculous that John McCain doesn't want Trump at his funeral.

[Doodley]

Sen. John McCain’s (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 it’s 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, he’s the president of the United States and he’s a very good man,” the senator said of Trump.

[No Vested Interest]

18. Neither Trump, Pence nor Hatch will be welcome at my funeral.

If anyone of them insists on coming, it will be a private funeral in an undisclosed location.
But there will be a lovely wake; the music will include " Happy Days Are Here Again."

[ooky]

25. I don't know why anybody would.

Both are horrible human beings who have spent their lives hurting others for their own enrichment.

[salin]

15. Yes, Trump's insults and devaluing of McCain's service, and years as a prisoner of war - as well...

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?

[a kennedy]

16. Oh for gawd sake.......hasn't he left office yet?? Ugh......

Orrin Hatch.....the mumbler in the Senate.

[HeiressofBickworth]

17. I'm no fan of McCain's politics

and his putting Palin in the public eye, but, shit, if one can't have his own guest list for is own funeral, just what freedoms will the G O P allow any of us?

McCain's funeral isn't planned as a photo op for anyone!

[FreeState]

19. What does Trump or Russia have on Hatch? N/T

[Demonaut]

20. "man"?, he's a boy

[LuckyCharms]

21. Jesus Christ, Hatch.

It's McCain's funeral. He gets to decide, and you don't get to disrespect his decision, so fuck off.

[RockRaven]

22. If Hatch wants Trump at his own funeral, he had better get a move on

b/c Don the Con is going to be in the slammer soon.

[Pachamama]

23. Orrin Hatch and many GOP seem to think you shouldn't have control of decisions for your own body in

....life....or death....

Wow....

[Beausoleil]

24. Hatch went on to say

Donald Trump is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

26. Funerals and weddings.

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.

[Ohiogal]

27. Unbelievable

how they all go to the mat for that orange goon.

Shut up Hatch you are a disgrace.

[DonCoquixote]

28. Hatch, it is not Mcain's fault

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".

[still_one]

29. So Orin hatch has no issue with trump denigrate American POWs

Remember that America, and what the Republican Party stands for

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.

[Garrett78]

32. "...he's a very good man."

Words fail me. I just wanted to repeat the quote.

[LisaL]

34. When Orrin dies, he is welcome to have Trump at his.

As for McCain, it's his funeral, he can very well decide who he wants there or not.
