Flake: ‘Treason Is Not a Punchline’ — Trump Has ‘Flagrant Disregard for Truth and Decency’
Breitbart Video ^ | February 6, 2018 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/06/2018 3:25:57 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Tuesday on the Senate floor, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) criticized President Donald Trump for the remarks he gave in Ohio a day earlier.

During those remarks, he called some Democrats “treasonous” for not applauding the positive economic news at his State of the Union address.

Partial transcript as follows:

Mr. President, last fall I had the honor to stand in this chamber and deliver remarks on the subject of a great and growing concern to me, the stewardship of our democracy at the hands of the most powerful figure in our government. I stand again today to sound the same alarm. Mr. President, words matter. Have we arrived at such a place of numb acceptance that we have nothing to say when a president of the United States casually suggests that those who choose not to stand or applaud his speech are guilty of treason? I certainly hope not. One who levels such a charge knows neither the meaning of treason nor the power that the words of a president carry. And if we are numb to such words, then we will surely regret that we failed to defend our colleagues in the Congress against such a vile remark. Our silence will also mark the day that we failed to recognize that this conduct in an American president simply is not normal.

Can’t wait to see Jeff Flake fade into the obscurity he so richly deserves.

Flake and other idiot liberals are sure crying over that “treason” remark.

With good reason.

Change “Trump” to “Flake” and the verbiage is correct.
And there is a God, since the name “Flake” soooo fits his lack of intelligence.

GOP, how did you let this bottom dwelling pond scum take the mantle of GOP. What do you want to do, bring us to the level of the Clintons and Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy?

All the open borders Bush League Republicans like Flake have been treasonous with their refusal to enforce the laws and borders.

Flake belongs in Mass. He reminds me of a typical elitist northeastern lib.

Flake, like all of the Leftards is LYING about POTUS Trump’s remarks. He did not say people who don’t applaud him are treasonous. He said that people who want bad things to happen to AMERICA so long as it makes Trump look bad are treasonous. He was standing up for our COUNTRY. Flake is a real POS.

I heard it seriously but not literally. We’ll be rid of A-hole soon, thank God.

What’s Flake’s problem?

President Trump takes NO SALARY, (or he donates it to worthy causes),

He has kept the majority of his campaign promises, and working on the rest,

He loves and respects the military and veterans,

He has improved the finances of countless American corporations, and their employees.

I could go on and on.

So Flake, shut the f**k up.

Supposedly Flake is going to run against Trump in 2020. He’s going to find out that everytime he opens his mouth to belittle and mock Trump is going to put another nail in the coffin of his higher office aspirations.

Erdogan, Pinochet, and others throughout history when faced with similar circumstances to the CURRENT UNDECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE TO A COUP ATTEMPT IN WASHINGTON DC is a guy who took an out of control opposition and controlled them.

Trump will be gone in 3 years and the same scumbags in DC will be up to the same tricks.

It takes a STRONG MAN to stop the Washingtonians.

BE COGNIZANT that the impeached Bill Clinton and his arch criminal wife won the popular vote and the only reason they are not back in the WH is a miracle!

There is an ongoing coup attempt and conspiracy to overthrow the President and all I see is ALL TALK AND NO ACTION.
