Hatch tweeted a screen capture of the incorrect profile with the caption “Hi.. Google? We might need to talk.”

A series of tweets showing photos and videos of some of the Senator’s meetings and efforts in Washington followed, including a reference to Hatch’s bacon-themed birthday party in March.

Fox News reports the profile has since been fixed.
