GOP Senator Calls on Local Republican Group to Pull Out of Trump Event

After one Republican senator denounced Donald Trump and gave away his donations, another Republican senator is speaking out against Trump too. Arizona’s Jeff Flake spoke out today against Trump’s remarks, but then went a step beyond that.

Flake told The Washington Post he is calling on the Republican Party of Maricopa County to pull out of their sponsorship of a Trump campaign event on Saturday that will be attended by Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Flake said Trump’s remarks were “ill-informed” and “not accurate,” and doesn’t believe Trump’s views are “reflective” of the GOP.

But beyond even that, Flake wanted to remind everyone that Trump “is just about the last unapologetic birther in the country.”

However, Flake did admit (or rather lament) that “there will likely be a crowd” to hear The Donald speak.

McCain and Flake have been on board The Cheap Labor Express for years.
I live in VA and knew Flake was a cheap labor importer when he was in the House.
AZ voters are either stupid or they like the illegal alien inundation.

Wow. The ComPost cares what Flake has to say? I didn't click on the link, did they ask him thoughts on taxes? The size and scope of government? Obama's handling of ISIS?

Stupid Republicans. Still don't know when they are being used by the Men Seeking Men mediums.

Certainly one of the least impressive characters who has made it to the Senate in recent decades.

doesn’t believe Trump’s views are “reflective” of the GOP.

Sadly, the GOP's views are no longer reflective of patriotic Americans.

Senator and from Arizona LOL LOL ! Incredible incredible. Supporting foreign criminal invaders rather than the US citizens he was elected to rep. Holy God, the treason is everywhere. Great thing about Trump is he’s getting these traitors to expose themselves faster than Michael Jackson in front of a Cub scout. I hope the voters in AZ are paying attention. The guy repping you is not repping you at all. Amazing how deep the treason disease resides in this country. This guy Trump is coming at the exact right time, Holy God, I had no idea it was THIS bad.

I am surprised he pulled his head out of his butt long enough to speak.

Jeff is already on the list....an A+RINO....Donald Trump at least has the nation now looking at the crimes illegals have committed in the last 10 years.....Flake never has. I would not be a party to this petty, piggy-back knee jerk political ploy for Hispanic votes.....I am ashamed that this successful American, who speaks the truth a little differently than your usual politician like Flake...the Donald is more informed and far more courageous than this wimp.

What does he think Arizonans, the legal ones, believe about illegals? SB 1070?

Oh wait. Obama and his courts took care of those silly Arizonans.

GOPers sure like telling conservatives what to do, and Trump is not even conservative!
