Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said Monday evening that he sometimes feels like he doesn't belong to a political party.
I sometimes feel like a man temporarily without a party, he said during a speech at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, according to The Washington Post.
Flake also criticized his party during the speech, saying members of the GOP have "given in to the terrible tribal impulse that first mistakes our opponents for our enemies."
And then we become seized with the conviction that we must destroy that enemy," he said.
Flake's speech came days after he voted in the Senate Judiciary Committee to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. He also said at the time, however, that he would support Kavanaugh in the full Senate only if there were first an FBI investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct against the nominee.
Flake's call for an investigation, and Republican Sens. Susan Collins's (Mass.) and Lisa Murkowski's (Alaska) subsequent support of Flake's suggestion, prompted President Trump to ask the FBI to reopen its background investigation into Kavanaugh.
Flake said Monday that the investigation needs to be a "real investigation," according to the Post.
It does no good to have an investigation that just gives us more cover, Flake said. We actually need to find out what we can find out. And we have to realize that we may not be able to find out everything that happened.
The Senate currently plans to vote on Kavanaugh "this week," according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
No, Flake is soon to be a Democrat
The Cowardly Lion had a heart. Flake has none. Hes appropriately named.
He’ll end up with MSNBC as one of the morning ‘guests’ with Joe. Then he’ll probably write some book entitled: ‘How the GOP Failed’.
Well, you pretty much gave the middle finger to the Republican Party and lit that bridge on fire and the Democrats know you're a weasel and a coward so, yep, nobody likes you right now you sad, pathetic little man.
Send this guy 10,000 pink pussy hats. One for each day of his life, with some leftover.
The minor tragedy of the Kavanaugh fiasco is giving the soon to be departed wormy Flake more media time then he deserves.

Go Away
And his nose STILL veers to the left.
Pathetic bastard. Hard to understand a guy like this. No guts no loyalty, no brain.
With your total lack of loyalty, that should not surprise you. You are a disgrace.
Sometimes you feel like a nut.
Hes the party pooper, turd in the punch bowl.
Now hes trotting out reasons to justify voting no.
Lets cut the farce of the investigation short. Flake is never going to accept a report clearing Kavanaugh.
If he was going to vote for him, he wouldnt have sided with the Democrats in the first place.
Flake should stop with his Hamlet agonizing. No ones buying it.
He’s going to be without his MSNBC gig unless he votes no. He will vote no. He boxed himself into a corner and cannot virtue signal his way out at this point.
He told us his plans. Hes a man temporarily without a party. Come next January he will eagerly embrace the Democrats as his party and try and eek out a subsistence shilling for them as a lobbyist. What a piece of work. Arizona produced two of the biggest Aholes in Republican politics and they both served together backstabbing their party until one died of bitterness and the other left because of spinelessnes.
Jeff Jeffords.
This is the crux. Ford's allegations - being so vague and incomplete - are virtually unfalsifiable. It's like trying to find out who, of those seated around the dinner table, farted - 36 years after the fact.
I suppose that that was what made Ford such an appealing dupe.

“Sometimes I feel I'm without a clue.”
I know exactly how he feels.
