GOP Sen. Jeff Flake donates to Alabama Democrat Doug Jones' senate campaign

resident Trump may have thrown his support to GOP Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, but another Republican, Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, made it clear he does not think Moore should be elected to fill Jeff Sessions' former seat. He wrote a $100 check to Moore's opponent, Democrat Doug Jones, and tweeted a photo, with a simple caption, "Country over Party."

The Arizona senator has also tweeted, "Just to be clear. If the choice is between Roy Moore and a Democrat, I would run to the polling place to vote for the Democrat." After the Washington Post reported that several women had been pursued by Moore when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s, including one woman who was 14 years of age when she had sexual contact with Moore, Flake called on Moore to step aside.

He has already announced he is not running in 2018,
so he has nothing to lose with this stunt.

The Cheap Labor Express Republicans are really showing their desperation.

A loser desperately virtue signaling in the futile hope of getting someone, anyone to praise him. He is worse than a useful idiot for the left. Pitiful.

But, fortunately, his days of “public service” are counting down.

Harry Truman is said to have described a prominent Pubbie of his time with “the son-of-a-bitch is no good.”

Flake: “I would run to the polling place to vote for the Democrat. Then I would trip and fall to smash my face into the dirt. Then I would blame Trump. Then I would cry.”

A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.

Flake has learned well from his senior colleague's How To Be A Hemorrhoid manual.

If I were Jones I’d be waiting for McCain’s money.

I would expect nothing different from Jeff Flake. Wouldn’t surprise me if McCain, Collins and Lindsey boy did something similar.

Hundred bucks? If I were Trump I’d give Jones a thousand. Dare him to cash it. THEN I’d broadcast what a cheapskate Flake is.

$100 is even cheaper than 30 pieces of silver.
