During Thursday’s edition of CNN Tonight With Don Lemon, the eponymous host asked the panel to weigh in on Senator Orrin Hatch waving his hand at angry left-wing protesters and telling them to “grow up.” Up first, Never-Trumper Max Boot said Hatch’s behavior “probably just reinforces...stereotypes about clueless, old, out of touch white guys.”  He also complained about the “faux” FBI investigation into the decades-old sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. While Trump supporter Steve Cortes admitted that Hatch came across as “a bit grumpy,” he took issue with the comment from Boot and other liberals obsessing about the race of Hatch and the other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asking “What does the racial component have to do with this?” Cortes pointed out that race has absolutely nothing to do with the Kavanaugh circus, since Kavanaugh and his accusers are white.
