Republican senator who is critical of Trump keeps in touch with Obama

In a Saturday interview on “The Axe Files” with host David Axelrod, Sen. Jeff Flake, R.-R.-Ariz. said he has remained in touch with former President Barack Obama, and claimed that the Republican party is in a “bad place.”

Flake acknowledged that he still speaks with Obama, who recently called Flake to see how he was faring following his announcement that he would not seek reelection.

The Hill reported, During that speech, Flake heavily criticized President Trump and said he would “no longer be complicit or silent” while the president continues his “reckless, outrageous and undignified” behavior.

On Saturday, Flake complimented Obama for reaching out to him just before he left the White House. “The last night he was in the White House, the day before inauguration he called just to say that he enjoyed working with me,” Flake said. “And I certainly said the same. He didn’t have to do that. It was very nice.”

During his interview with the former Obama adviser, Flake said the Trump cabinet meetings are “painful” to watch and said that the Republican party is currently in a “bad place.”

“There’s not much place for a Republican like me in a party like this right now,” Flake said.

Yes he did. Soros told him to. Barry, Jeff and John are all on the payroll.

He was at around 16% when he announced his unwilling “retirement”.... he was going to be humiliated and preferred to pretend to go out on his own terms, wailing at the Republicans and sucking up to the Democraps.

“Republican like me.” What hogwash. This guy is a wannabe who has exceeded the janitor job he was cut out for if he knew how to work?

We need new Senators.

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.

We have to ignore Trump’s endorsements of Bush League Republicans and Cantorize them anyway if we ever want to Make America Great Again.

Jeff Flake was pumped way up by Glenn Beck. Coincidence?
