But Sunday, as he promoted his book on NBCs Meet the Press, Flake took his assault on Trumpism back years further all the way to the pre-dawn of Trumps political rise, to when the birtherism thing was going on, as Flake put it to host Chuck Todd.
Some people did stand up, but not enough, the senator said. That was particularly ugly.
Did you do enough? Todd asked.
Flake smiled. On that, I think I did.
Flake was a congressman in 2011, when Trump flirted with a presidential run against President Barack Obama.
The current president did so spouting all sorts of Four-Pinocchio innuendo that had long ago been debunked, as The Washington Post wrote at the time.
Trump wrote a letter to the editor in the New York Times, for example, advancing a host of bogus evidence against Obamas birth in the United States and, thus, his legitimacy to occupy the White House.

Then ask yourself, why do you continue to ping me? It should be obvious to everyone I'm just not buying it. But why worry? I'm just one lone Aussie and my opinion shouldn't matter all that much, should it? I'm continually reminded of Joel Gilbert. On various FR threads it was clearly shown he fabricated details and misidentified various characters. That didn't stop him from being touted as a serious investigator, promoted by James Corsi who swallowed his ridiculous story Dreams From My Real Father based on the identification of a model who posed for exotic magazines in 1958 as Stanley Ann Dunham when she was still in high school and hadn't set foot in Hawaii nor met Frank Marshall Davis. That BS didn't stop Gilbert, he influenced heaven knows how many people that FMD was the father of zero; I'm sure you can convince equally as many that Fuddy was offed by the US Navy.
CORRECTION:
James Corsi should be Jerome Corsi.
I got eyes.
