Jeff Flake: ‘We Can’t Have That on the Court’
The Atlantic ^ | 10/02/2018 | Elaina Plott

Posted on 10/02/2018 12:20:14 PM PDT by mtrott

As the Senate awaits the results of the FBI investigation into the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Jeff Flake, one of the lawmakers who spurred the inquiry, criticized the judge Tuesday for his recent appearance in the upper chamber.

Speaking with Jeffrey Rosen, the president of the National Constitution Center, and Democratic Senator Chris Coons at The Atlantic Festival on Tuesday morning, Flake called the judge’s interactions with lawmakers “sharp and partisan.”

“We can’t have that on the Court,” said the Arizona senator, who didn’t elaborate on which interactions he was referring to.

No partisanship allowed unless it’s Democrat and there’s plenty of that already. Flake is aptly named!

No he will vote Yes unless something in FBI report provides any corroboration for the alleged incidents.

flake was never going to vote yes. He is only interested in sticking it to Trump.


Kavanaugh is main line GOP. If Flake sticks it to anybody it will be K Street and W Bush who loved the Kavanaugh pick.

Flake is stepping into the shoes left by the recently departed McCain.

“Heitkamp and Manchin are probably going to swing over and support Kavanaugh. “

Only if the 2 rino sisters are definitely yes votes. NO RAT WILL VOTE TO SAVE KAVANAUGH. Bank it and bet your first born. Red state Rats will vote will only vote for him if it doesn’t matter.

So after being falsely accused of sexual assault, drugging and gang-raping girls repeatedly, forcing violent sex on “innocent” girls—all a massive pack of lies—he’s just supposed to be cool and calm and not outraged. If he defends himself like any innocent man would, he’s being “partisan”? What a joke!!

I would LOVE to see that @sshole Flake have every creepy Mormon skeleton in his closet come out plus lots of salacious lurid fake sex assault allegations hurled at him. Let’s see how cool and calm sanctimonious Judas/Saint Jeffy behaves.

Atlantic reporter Elaina Plott pressed him about the “we can’t have this on the Court” comment afterward. Flake was “rattled”:

I caught up with Flake briefly as he left the event, and asked if this meant he would not vote to confirm Kavanaugh, even if the FBI cleared him by week’s end. He appeared rattled, and his handlers rushed him into the stairwell. “I didn’t say that …” he stammered. “I wasn’t referring to him.”

Flake is pathetic, even for a politician.

I concur that Flake is a no vote. His best friends are now dimoKKKRATS including Senator Coons.

The entire hearing was partisan, and a sitting judge, Ginzberg, came out publicly in 2016 against Trump getting elected. Did anyone hear Flake cakll Ginzverg out for that uber partisanship, by a SITTING judge? No.

All Flake is convincing folks of is what a hypoctite and Dim in GOP clothing he is.

I also saw clips of Hillary Clinton speaking there today. Are Clinton and Flake there at the same event?

We can't have traitors like Flake in our government. This scumbag needs to hear more from his constituents to let him know they won't forgive and forget his actions once he's retired. Flake needs to shut his mouth and vote in the best interest of the people, or he needs to step down immediately. If he doesn't I sincerely hope some of his secrets come out and destroy his life. I don't care if they're true or not. You don't win playing by rules that are ignored by your opposition. You fight fire with fire, and this stupid fake sexual harassment crap needs to stop, and it will if we turn it around on them.

And if Kavanaugh stayed away, Flake would complain that he was hiding and afraid. There’s no pleasing these liberals.

excuse me, Flake. You’re not president and you have a snoballs chance in hell of being one. You’re a quitter and a coward. So stop self-inflating your ego and sit down and zip it and let real men handle this.
