“Congress has to fix this. And what’s bothersome is the president’s rhetoric about the Democrats and their unwillingness to have any type of border security or control,” Flake said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Flake, an outspoken GOP critic of the president, noted that Democrats have in the past voted to support billions of dollars in funding for border security enhancements, such as the 2013 “Gang of Eight” bill that ultimately failed to pass in the Senate.
“They are on record supporting significant border control,” Flake said. “And so, when the president says that and calls them ‘clowns’ and ‘losers,’ how does he expect the Democrats to sit down and work with Republicans on these issues?"
“Words matter, what the president says matters, and he ought to knock that off,” added Flake, who is retiring in January.
Trump signed an executive order last week halting family separations. He has called on Congress to pass additional comprehensive immigration legislation.

PDJT us doing exactly as he should, pressuring Congress to solve the problem with legislation. The Dems are a laughing stock, caterwauling “ The Sky is falling, he’s a NAZI!” NO SOLUTION from them!
Buahahahahahaha!
PDJT is pushing for another win.
Half of America doesn’t know win from shim.
Kudos to PDJT!!!!
Thought this jerk had retired or quit? Why is he still getting press time? Oh yeah he hates Trump. That will do it!
I was on pins and needles waiting to find out what Flake thought......NOT!!!!
He’s a Quisling, Jim.
So, when Flake calls Trump nasty names and compares him to Stalin, that’s helpful?
Sheesh, what a flaky person Flake is.
Flake has no problem with Democrats calling Trump racist, or threatening & harassing his family & members of Administration. He is an awful man.
This guy is like a fly that keeps trying to land on ,your food. What a nuisance.y
Alternate Headline: Flake Attacks Trump for Attacking Democrats
Flake’s trying to get drafted by the Democrats for a future run now that most Republicans can’t stand him.
.........snicker..........
Flake’s attacks on Trump and the American People are unhelpful.
Who is paying him? This is Chamber of Commerce talk.
Jeez, hasn’t anyone got pictures of this guy with midget hookers or anything?
If the “gang of 8” bill had become law, there would have been no need for billions in “border security.” What a schmuck Flake is.
Debate?
Debate?
It is an invasion. We want it stopped. With the rule of law.
If hillary were in we’d be already speaking spanish. It’s why she is not the president
Trump is the president. He was elected. Not by Russians. By the electorate. Who has not changed its collective mind
Flake is a Democrat who infiltrated the GOP.
