Boston event featuring Jeff Flake moved amid security concerns

A panel discussion featuring Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., in Boston next week has been moved due to security concerns amid a contentious battle to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Flake was confronted by sexual assault survivors at the Capitol on Friday after he said he would vote to advance Kavanaugh’s nomination.

Flake is appearing Monday at the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Boston to discuss the future of the Republican Party. The panel discussion, which will also feature fellow GOP member Ohio Gov. John Kasich, was originally scheduled to be held at Emerson Colonial Theatre. Emerson College President Lee Pelton decided to cancel the event “for safety reasons.”

“The College just found out about Sen. Jeff Flake’s appearance in Boston on Monday. … We are seeking to exercise our right as the owners of the Colonial to have the panel canceled for safety reasons. I will keep you updated,” he said in a statement.

In a later statement, Pelton said the event would be moved to a different location.

“The Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit panel discussion with Sen. Jeff Flake and Gov. John Kasich has been moved to a more secure location in Boston. Emerson College is pleased that this important topic can be discussed and debated,” he said.

According to an agenda on Forbes’s website, Flake and Kasich are scheduled to discuss “the future of the Republican Party.”
“In the age of Trump, a few national GOP leaders have stepped forward to offer a competing vision,” according to a description of the event. “In consecutive interviews, we’ll hear their views of [where] the Republican Party needs to go.”...

The fool Flake has even alienated the Bush wing of the party by delaying the Kavanaugh nomination. Why would he think he has any future with any faction of the party?

Years ago I was kicked out of the Colonial Theater during a joint appearance of Bill Maher and Ann Coulter.Ann spoke first and was outstanding,as usual.But I just couldn't help but shout at Bill Maher in response to one of the filthy lies he told and I was kicked out.

It wasn't a profanity or a threat or anything...I think I might have called out "liar" or something like that.

I thought GWB was burning up the phone lines last night. And he couldn't swing Flake?

“A man without a Party.”

He doesn’t care about party - he doesn’t care about anything except a fat lobbying contract! Praying that PDJT pulls his security clearance as soon as his replacement is sworn in and that BOTH sides see him for the self-centered traitor that he is and kick him to the curb!

The wicked side of me would like to see him go to a bar in Boston and get rolled by a few chicks and have him wake up in a hotel room handcuffed to the bed with his wallet gone.

Sorry can’t help myself but this would be a fitting end to him.

“...A man without a Party....”

Also, a man without a constituency.
A man without respect.
A man without ethics.
A man without a soul.
A man on his way to Hell.
He sold it ALL for money.....A Judus.

Trump is actually old school Republican. Just read the 1924 platform. He is a Republican all right.
