Republican Sen. Jeff Flake admitted on Sunday that had he been running for re-election in Arizona, requesting the FBI to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against Judge Brett Kavanaugh would have made him unelectable to the Senate.
The Arizona senator voted “yes” to advance Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and into the full Senate on Friday with the condition that an FBI probe would briefly investigate Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of sexual abuse against the judge.
Flake notably announced that he would not be running for re-election in October 2017. CBS News’ Scott Pelley asked Flake if he had been seeking to hold his Senate seat, would he have been able to demand an investigation.

He was polling at 15% approval back 6 months ago.
Probably 5% now.
Then it would appear that the only people who approve of him are the WETBACKS and LUNATICS.
The downfall of the American Republic began when we abandoned the practice of tar and feathers.
I was thinking more like K Street or Goldman Sachs.
Judas Flake is officially out of the job January 1 2019. He has only four Senate paychecks left. He needs the money, bwhah hah hah hah!!!
Just like his vile mentor McCain, he will do ANYTHING that he can to stick it to Trump up until the last possible moment. He is a coward and a traitor, the most hated man in Arizona right now.
If this is true, there is no way he's voting for Kavanaugh.
So, like McCain Flake's last official act will be an obscene gesture to Trump, Arizonans and all Constitutionalists.
Gee, I don’t know. Considering the way Feinstein reacted, I feel like Flake ran out the clock so that the vote to pass the committee was the last thing that happened that day. Of course it might be we should credit Grassley for out maneuvering both of the idiots.
A Romney-esque move. What do they teach them at BYU?
You misspelled 'America'.
Sounds like something Maxine Waters would say.
Most hated man in Arizona AND America.
He is still pissed over that dead dog thing. He blames Arpaio and he hates Trump because Trump pardoned Arpaio.
By the way, his kids are messed up totally.
No wonder.
Occam’s razor—yes! Flake (as well as dead man McCain) HATE/HATED Trump. Their bitter jealousy of Trump as a successful and popular POTUS drove/drive everything.
Judas Flake was disrespectful and nasty to Trump every day, and his pettiness drove his approval numbers to below 18%. Now he is a failed first term senator and is going scorched earth.
Sounds like something a troll would say
