Republican Sen. Jeff Flake defended the top Democrat in the Senate against attacks from President Donald Trump, who blamed the deadly New York City terror attack on a program that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer helped shape but later tried to end.
Trump tweeted Wednesday morning that suspect Sayfullo Saipov, an Uzbek immigrant, came to the country through the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, which Trump described as a "Chuck Schumer beauty."

Flake has over a year left in office and NOTHING to lose. McCain? Nothing to lose, but an indefinite departure date.
Get used to hearing them for a while.
Flake isn’t running because he was polling in the TEENS. He ran 5 years ago as a Tea Party conservative.
ACU gives him a lifetime rating of 93, but this year’s rating was 79. FreedomWorks gives him a lifetime score of 95. Heritage gives him a lifetime score of 73, a current year of 67, and the average Republican senator 56.
When he was in the House, he was reasonably conservative. Nothing in his lifetime record indicated he would go hard left the day after the election - which is what he did. And Arizona was looking for a chance to get rid of him, which is why his polling was in the teens.
Jeff Schumer/Chuck Flake.....there really isn’t any difference between the two.
Both can ESAD!
He is going to be so disruptive right up until his final day.
HUGE Mormon presence in the east valley which includes Mesa.
Sometimes I think McCain will make a statement saying he is cured of cancer and he will continue doing what he’s been doing.
That is a nightmare scenario!!
The spin now is that Schumer “tried to end” the visa lottery program, but was blocked by Republicans.
False.
Actually Schumer was just going to fold the 50,000 lottery visas into a massive amnesty of millions of green cards for illegals. He would never support a clean bill to end the visa lottery program. The GOP (the good guys in it) blocked the massive Amnesty, not some specific plan to end the visa lottery.
Yeah, he means the program would have ended if only the republicans had gone along with his Gang of 8 amnesty bill.
Nice try, Chuckie.
sorry to say, he is auditioning for a job at cnn, etc. we will likely be seeing more, not less of him.

Maybe the rats have dirt on him.
yes indeed. been telling the wife that no matter how many great things Pres Trump gets accomplished, unveiling the true colors and sickness in DC will go down as his greatest.
So who does he turn to for comfort and support? -- Why, it's the leaders and people of the America-hating Left! (A not-surprising reaction if you think about it.)
Who?
Amnesty RINO? I think you misspelled “a$$hole RINO”.
Even by the low, low standards of the RINOs, Flake is possibly the worst senator in the history of the Republic.
A traitor who has the blood of many on his hands
Don’t forget Ben Sasse. He needs to be fired as well.
The Flake speaks! Blah! Blah! Blah! What a bag of wind.
The only good thing that Jeff Flake has done in his political career is to announce his resignation from the Senate. Between him and McCain, the voters of AZ should be ashamed of themselves.
“Just when you think Jeff Flake can not act any more stupid than he already has.....”
Anyone who would defend the poisonous mushroom Schumer is lower than whale shit.
