Flake calls Trump supporters' 'lock her up' chants 'disturbing,' fears for future of GOP

In his retirement interview with C-SPAN, Flake said the chants, which were sparked by Trump's campaign and have continued throughout his presidency, are more concerning than the controversial things Trump says.

"The disturbing thing isn’t so much what [Trump] says anymore, it’s the cheers from people behind him and the chants of, 'Lock her up!' for example that’s just unseemly," Flake said. "It does make me fear that it's going to be a longer process to get out of this than it should be."

While the signature chant often heard at Trump's campaign rallies has been reserved for Clinton, at the president's rally in Iowa on Tuesday night, Trump mentioned Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., asking the crowd: "How about Senator Feinstein? That's another beauty."

Said from a dolt who has no future in any party. What a jackass. He fears for the future of the GOP when while in office he refused to defend it? Jeff, flake off and GFU.

Flake has always been flaky. He cannot see that there is a wide range of humor which is o.k., even if he doesn’t like it. He is prissy where it dosn’t matter. God save the Country from prissy wimps.

...”It does make me fear that it’s going to be a longer process to get out of this than it should be.”...

What is Flakes definition of “this?”

Since when do you go looking to “get out of” doing the right thing? Fighting evil and injustice? Protecting the constitution and the country?

I can only assume it means getting back to the corrupt uni-party of a GOPE?

This senator needs to be out.

“String her up” is disturbing. “Lock her up” is a much milder alternate outcome that most would be thrilled with.

Geez, he just won’t shut the hell up.

He’s on his way out because he knows he can’t win an election to rat catcher and he has to pull this crap everyday?

What a sick, mentally unstable idiot.
