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.

Flake is a Mormon scumbag and IT’S TIME TO HAVE A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ABOUT THE MORMON CONSPIRACY TO CONTROL DC.

I hate National Conversations, ordinarily.

18 percent approval rating in Arizona, Saint Jeffy, bwah hah hah!

You’re going to be out of a job shortly, how will you feed that large Mormon family of yours? You’ll have to take two minimum wage jobs, one at the car wash, the other at Wal Mart. You have no real skills to speak of, you big fat loser.

Flake: ‘Treason Is Not a Punchline’ — Trump Has ‘Flagrant Disregard for Truth and Decency’

Nor should Treason be S.O.P. for the Democrat party, but that's what they're making it—routine...

I agree...Mormonism’s goal is to rule the world and Flake sees himself as one of the rulers.

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.

^^^^ This eCSMaster

Double Thumbs Up.

Flake has been planning a Presidential run and calculated 2020 was his time.

Trump ruined his plans and Flake destroyed his political career to the point he could not even be elected meter maid in his old house district

A delusional Flake still thinks a can win a 2020 Presidential nomination by being the anti Trump in all things - big and small

It’s the hand he is going to play for the next three years so get used to it

Trump would not have used the word if he didn’t have the goods.

NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers went to Trump Tower the day after the election and informed Trump that he was being spied upon.

The very next Day Trump moved his operation.

Trump has been taking military advisement from Day One.

Trump making a visit to Saudi Arabia was no accident.

The Saudi anti-corruption arrests happened immediately after his visit.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=saudi+arabia+arrests+corruption&atb=v97-1__&ia=web

That was just the beginning.

Trump is getting ready to do the same thing here.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/

Big things are afoot. The slow rollout is deliberate.

There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth among traitors.

Bitchboy Obama called President Bush a traitor to America for raising the debt ceiling and then doubled it by himself. He later said his calling that treason was just politics.

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.

You had the answer all along, eCSMaster
