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."

Glad he is out of politics

If you think he screwed the country as a whole, you should have seen what he did to Arizona with the Alt Fuel scam he passed to payoff his propane auto fuel conversion cronies.

Cost Arizonans over a billion bucks

Flake was very good at padding his resume voting for inconsequential and symbolic legislation but was wrong on most of the big ticket items that have huge impact on future

Is there any reason other than Trump Derangement Syndome for anyone to print what this traitor says?

Seriously Jeffy; theirs an ointment for your bad case of red hot baboon butthurt.

Get over it and fade away into obscurity where you belong.

How does someone like him ever become a Republican Senator?

“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.”

Who’s this “We”? Does he have a mouse in his pocket?

As a mccain knob polishing RINO he’s part of what created the problem.

Should have never been there in the first place. What do I care what a 1 term senator that “retired” because he knew he would not even survive a primary challenge in his home state thinks?

Theo guy and Corker were the epitome of RINO... and sure as hell don’t have any business lecturing anyone about “doing the right thing”.

Piss off you wanker.

Donald Trump has done nothing impeachable. That is “objective reality”.

“I’ve always voted Republican, but no way I’m voting for Trump next year”.

Instead, I’m going to abandon my conservative principles and vote for the Socialist Democrat candidate.
