Flake on Jones victory: 'Decency wins'
The Hill ^ | 12/12/17 | Brett Samuels

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) responded to Democrat Doug Jones’s victory Tuesday in the Alabama Senate race by saying “Decency wins.”

Flake, who has announced he will not seek reelection in 2018, was a vocal critic of Republican candidate Roy Moore.

Moore was plagued during the campaign by allegations of sexual misconduct, including accusations that he made advances on teenagers when he was in his 30s.

Flake wrote Jones’s campaign a $100 check, writing “Country over Party” in the memo line.

Flake pointed to Moore’s past remarks that Muslims should not serve in Congress as an indicator he is “unfit” for office.

Yes, because killing unborn babies is always more decent then dating what some may perceive as under aged girls. /sarcasm

Unlimited Abortion = “Decency.”

Mormon’s have interesting morals.

I believe ‘protean’ is the word.

Yes, the establishment won. It managed to provide more than margin of defeat for Moore by undermining him with lies, cutting off his funding and encouraging the write-in campaign against him.

Jones' victory wouldn't have been possible without the GOP establishment's support.

I wish he would just switch to the Dems..

There is no hope for those who truly want to save this nation from a fate like East Germany.. divided, surveilled, propaganda fed, access to truth controlled tightly..

If the media will not do its job and the FBI and DoJ have their own agenda and openly connive to push it.. then what recourse have we?

10 million Patriots march on DC maybe?? anything less is whistling in the wind..

If that is considered extreme,, then perhaps what the Deep State has planned for all of us is of no big concern to you.. but it should be.
