“Congress has to fix this. And what’s bothersome is the president’s rhetoric about the Democrats and their unwillingness to have any type of border security or control,” Flake said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Flake, an outspoken GOP critic of the president, noted that Democrats have in the past voted to support billions of dollars in funding for border security enhancements, such as the 2013 “Gang of Eight” bill that ultimately failed to pass in the Senate.
“They are on record supporting significant border control,” Flake said. “And so, when the president says that and calls them ‘clowns’ and ‘losers,’ how does he expect the Democrats to sit down and work with Republicans on these issues?"
“Words matter, what the president says matters, and he ought to knock that off,” added Flake, who is retiring in January.

Bothersome, not to me. I love it when Trump fights the left.
Flake YOU are unhelpful you friggen putz
What a flake.
adversely Democrats’ constant attacks on president Donald J Trump is designed to undermine efforts to broker a deal for reform on the issue of immigration.
Flake’s attacks on Trump for Flake’s MMS/Democrat buds is ‘bothersome,’ and unhelpful 24/7!
Oh he’s above all this, DEBATE? no debate this is breaking the law
Flake of course completely against Trump’s legal immigration agenda. (Like the Dems.)
Reading all the posts inspire me. Like I always say:
STAY ON OFFENSE!
For years and years repubs would resort to defense. Never wins.
Democrats bash our president. Not only is there almost no pushback by Republicans, but almost daily Republicans side with the Democrats.
When is the last time you heard Ryan or McConnell defend or praise him?
Flaky Flake just wants to hand the immigration issue to the dems/media with a bright bow on it, and give the American people a package of sh!t and tell us it’s chocolate.
What’s his opinion of his brother democrats attacking Trump?
Yup, Flake is a flaming asshole.
“Flake: Trump’s attacks on Democrats ‘bothersome,’ unhelpful in immigration debate”
but Jeff is apparently OK with the continuous, unrelentig full-bore attacks against Trump and his administrative officials by the Dems, their lunatic leftist supporters, and the entire leftist fake stream media ...
Flake is why we must get rid of all the gutless wonders in the GOP. OOPS! We won’t have many left if we do that.
I’m just surprised he wasn’t on Chris “ I am a piece of dirt “ Wallace’s Sunday show spewing this $#@&, will wonders ever cease.
C’mon, we have some good ones. And some good potentials.
Democrat’s and “Never Trumpers” attacks on voters are ‘bothersome,’ and unhelpful in immigration debate.
