WASHINGTON, DC -- While speaking to the Republican Jewish Coalition, U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who is an active member of the LDS Church, tried to win points by appealling to zionism and to what Mormons see as their close ties to Jews. But Hatch misspoke in his statement, saying that he supported "a united and indivisible Jerusalem as the capital of Utah."

Hatch explained that as a Mormon, he feels a shared understanding of the Holocaust because the Mormons had suffered as the only church in the United States "that had an extermination order against it." Hatch continued saying, "I love you. You'll never find anybody who loves [Israel] more. We in Utah feel very deeply about Israel." Hatch also revealed that he has worn a mezuza, a symbol of Jewish faith, for the past 15 years to remind him of Jewish suffering.
