Not a fan of Flake BUT if you call me a ‘toxic person weak on immigration & crime and not worthy of the Senate’ please don’t expect me to tell you to ‘have a nice day’ and invite you home for dinner.
If the President wants to personally attack someone he and his staff best be expecting some flack back.
OTOH as much backbone and spine that has NOT been exhibited recently, I guess a response is sort of unexpected, at least a HARSH response.
Doesn’t it really depend on the truth of the President’s statements? If somebody hits you dead to rights a smart person shuts their mouth & doesn’t double down à la Flake.
Flake has been attacking Trump for the past 2 years. Flake was riding on Trump before he got the nomination, after he got the nomination, during the election with Hillary and since he’s sworn in.
