Vegans Furious Because Orrin Hatch Posted This Video

Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch posted a video of himself eating bacon Tuesday, upsetting vegans and vegetarians.

Hatch posted the video of himself eating a plate of bacon in his office Tuesday morning, in response to an article from the Independent, which said “Phrases like ‘bringing home the bacon’ could be banned to avoid offending vegans.”

This is not Hatch’s first time tweeting about his love for bacon, as the Utah Sen. posted several photos of himself eating a plate of bacon for his 84th birthday in March of 2018.

“Growing up Senator Hatch’s family couldn’t afford to celebrate birthdays like the other kids in the neighborhood, so he has never enjoyed them. But he would never turn down birthday bacon. Happy 84th to Senator Hatch,” Hatch’s office tweeted from his account on March 22.

Hatch announced his retirement in early January, and received the medal of freedom from President Donald Trump on November 16, as he is the longest-serving member of the U.S. Senate.
