Orrin Hatch Just Said of Abuser Rob Porter: "If I could find more people like him I would hire them"

Just spoke to @senorrinhatch again, he reiterated he "would prefer (Rob Porter) not to resign. Just work his way through and do what's right."

"I encouraged him to keep a stiff upper lip and work on his problems," Hatch said.

Q: If allegations about Porter are true would you employ him?

HATCH: "That's a Q I'm not going to answer, because he worked for me, he did a tremendous job. If I could find more people like him I would hire them, I think that's how good he is. And he's basically a good person"

Senior White House aide Rob Porter physically assaulted two ex-wives, they tell @theintercept. Full story to come in the morning.

His first wife, Colbie Holderness, provided these photos from a vacation they took together in Florence, Italy: pic.twitter.com/tl3TbyGA8Y

Wow. Two women beaten up and you want him to "work through his problems". No wonder women stay in the shadows. Empathy and support of the male perpetrator not the victims. @OrrinHatch is grotesque. #RobPorterResign

So “stiff up lip” support for Porter but fat, busted up faces for the ex-wives? Hell no. pic.twitter.com/sDzto8okFB
