Flake says he's been in touch with Biden administration and has interest in making sure 'our foreign policy is bipartisan'
CNN ^ | Feb 14 | By Caroline Kenny

Former Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said Sunday he has been in touch with the Biden administration when asked about recent reporting that the administration is considering him for an ambassadorship, but said there have been "no specific talks."

"All I've said is I would have an interest in making sure that President (Joe) Biden's foreign policy is bipartisan," Flake, a CNN political commentator, told CNN's Pamela Brown on "Newsroom."

"You know, we used to say that partisanship stops at the water's edge. That needs to happen, and I think it can happen. But there's been no specific talks," said Flake, who has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump and endorsed Biden in the 2020 election.

Axios reported last week that Biden administration officials are weighing nominating prominent Republicans to ambassadorships, including Cindy McCain -- the widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain -- and Flake to highlight bipartisanship in foreign policy.

Yes, we have to make sure that our foreign policy is built around spreading our cultural obsession with sodomy. Bipartisanship usually means war.

Flake, McCain: the Republicans Expert class only to the Media Myrmadons.
They are NPCs* parroting what the ā€œprogressivesā€ want to hear.

* An NPC is seemingly a human that is unable to think objectively. We exist in a simulated reality and some humans take on the role of NPCs, spouting “opinions” they are programmed to spout and repeating in a cult-like manner.

Yeah, I love the way “NPC” drove the liberals so crazy. For others:

“Non-Player Character,” from role-playing video games. At first, you can’t always tell that they don’t represent another gamer, but it quickly becomes evident because they are programmed to say certain things.

He’s already announcing his lobbying bona fides to K St.
Time to clean up on that investment in a senate seat
