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.
Don’t disagree there.
