Sen. Orrin Hatch says President Obama is betraying blue-collar Americans in his blocking of the Keystone XL pipeline.

The Hill reports that Hatch says Obama favors city-dwelling liberals over those blue-collar workers with the decision.


"President Obama has traded in the hard hat and lunch bucket category of the Democratic Party for the hipster fedora and a double skim latte," said Hatch, referring to the president’s energy policy, which has delayed the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and limited and delayed the exploration and production of some domestic energy.  

 

 
"The president is putting the preferred lifestyle policies of wealthy urbanites ahead of the needs of blue-collar and union workers and middle-class Americans," said Hatch. "He has put liberal environmental dreams above the economic reality that working-class Americans have been dealing with for years."
