Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) is still acting like a thorn in President Trump's side - even on Christmas weekend. Speaking to ABC's "This Week," Flake condemned the president's rallies as bastions of resentment.
"When you look at some of the audiences cheering for Republicans, sometimes, you look out there and you say, 'those are the spasms of a dying party,' " Flake said on ABC's "This Week."
"When you look at the lack of diversity, sometimes, and it depends on where you are, obviously, but by and large, we're appealing to older white men and there are just a limited number of them, and anger and resentment are not a governing philosophy," he continued. (The Hill)
The hostility between Flake and Trump started when we learned of Flake's "secret" book, "Conscience of a Conservative: A Rejection of Destructive Politics and a Return to Principle," in which he trashed Trump's agenda. The 45th president had a major hand in "compromising" the Republican Party's morals, the politician/author suggested. After the discovery, Trump mocked the senator at a rally in Phoenix.
Since then, Flake has continued to distance himself from the president, most recently refusing to support Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore in the special election race to replace Jeff Sessions. Moore denied the sexual assault allegations against him heading into Election Day, but the whole scandal encouraged Democrats to head to the polls in droves and elect Doug Jones, the first Democrat to a Senate seat in Alabama for 25 years. Many top Republicans urged Moore to drop out of the race, but Flake was so opposed to Moore's candidacy that he went so far as to donate to Jones's campaign.
Even with Moore's defeat, he will continue to be a "stain" on the GOP, Flake said Sunday.
He was happy to show his followers that he received a "Decency Wins" mug from a fan this weekend for his rebellion against the president. He tweeted those same two words on December 12, the day Moore lost.
This mug was left at my door today. Thank you. What a thoughtful Christmas gift. #DecencyWins pic.twitter.com/htj7PrLnbj— Jeff Flake (@JeffFlake) December 24, 2017
Voters must ignore him in the primaries
Flake is full of Shiite..................
Flake....jealous and bitter. McShamey’s mini me
Flake is the one who sounds angry and resentful.
Oh Flakey my boy, why don’t you just tell us about the world wide white supremacy conspiracy they talk about on DU or Kos?
Flake is the New McCain.
It is a detesting of globalism (the loss of American soveignty) and godless Communism.
Good thing there is no anger and resentment on the left, right Flakey Flake?
Can Sen. Flake tell us which rally he attended and give us some proof that he was really there?
Yep, Flake is ‘projecting’... like a typical democrat. Might be time for him to switch parties...
Full of anger and resentment?
Flake must of been standing outside with the protestors, because inside was filled with fun and love!
This will get rid of flakes.................
Indeed.
Flake is right:
We are angry and resentful.....
.... that globalist open borders deep state establishment whore traitors like him have been selling out the nation and their constituents for their master’s profit for decases.
Marxism is predicated upon envy and jealousy.
Meet the new McCain.
Same as the old McCain..................
I doubt it.

I think he’s much worse. McCain is old and senile.
