Jeff Flake: GOP 'denying objective reality' when agreeing Trump did nothing wrong
Washington Examiner ^ | Dec 20, 2019 | Mike Brest

Posted on 12/21/2019 5:02:25 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

Former Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake issued a scathing rebuke of those in his party who stand with President Trump during his impeachment.

Flake, 56, who did not run for reelection in 2018, published an op-ed titled, "Jeff Flake: The president is on trial. So are my Senate Republican colleagues," in the Washington Post on Friday.

"As we approach the time when you do your constitutional duty and weigh the evidence arrayed against the president, I urge you to remember who we are when we are at our best. And I ask you to remember yourself at your most idealistic," Flake wrote. "We are conservatives. The political impulses that compelled us all to enter public life were defined by sturdy pillars anchored deep in the American story."

“So are my Senate Republican colleagues”

Should change that to “all”, as opposed to Republican, because we here know that they were all involved in Ukrainian corruption up to their sorry necks. Weren’t they?

Former Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake...

So glad he's former, and no longer doing the DemocRATs' work in the Senate.

There is a reason we think the President did nothing wrong. It's because he did nothing wrong. As brazen as the shampeachment is, the DemocRATs still could not bring themselves to include any actual allegations of criminal activity in the articles. I.e., they could not bring themselves to commit perjury in an action they know history will judge them for.

Hey Flakey: I’ll call your “objective reality” and raise you “federal rules of evidence”.
