Former Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake issued a scathing rebuke of those in his party who stand with President Trump during his impeachment.
Flake, 56, who did not run for reelection in 2018, published an op-ed titled, "Jeff Flake: The president is on trial. So are my Senate Republican colleagues," in the Washington Post on Friday.
"As we approach the time when you do your constitutional duty and weigh the evidence arrayed against the president, I urge you to remember who we are when we are at our best. And I ask you to remember yourself at your most idealistic," Flake wrote. "We are conservatives. The political impulses that compelled us all to enter public life were defined by sturdy pillars anchored deep in the American story."

I suspect that there were a number of House Republicans who might have been inclined to vote with the Democrats, but no way in Hell were they going to be defacto supports of the way that Schiff/Nadler handled the hearings.
One pattern that gives the Trump attackers away as simply spoiled brats - they NEVER mention the underlying cause of the issue they have with Trump. In this case, Biden using his office to funnel millions to his kid - never mentioned in this article, or in the Washington Post piece that Flake actually wrote.
- In other words, THEY SIMPLY DON’T CARE, and, I guess, consider that part of it to be business as usual in DC, at least when done by Democrats.
He is a d1k
You are not kidding and I never thought I would say this but Kirsten Sinema is a huge improvement over him. He has a day of reckoning coming.
“Objective reality” has long been non-existent in your little world envelope, FlakeIdiot.....just saying
Who the hell care what this idiotic traitor has to say. I am sure he is using the dem play. “This all FEELS SO bad”!!!
So says the puzzie whom let hoards of savage commie hags corner him in an elevator and brow beat him into essentially extending the Kavanaugh lynching. FOAD
Here is a question for this scumbag: assuming he did what you allege he did what crime did he commit and or explain how going to the courts to protect the presidents privileges is obstruction? Take all the time you want and then eat crap.
Jeff Flake is more like Mitt Romney than even Mitt Romney himself.
“But what is indefensible is echoing House Republicans who say that the president has not done anything wrong. He has.”
Why don’t you spit the shit out of your mouth and get specific? What, exactly, has he done wrong?
Was this idiot ever really a Republican? A Dem pretender, but really just a tool!
and yet he offers not a single shred of prof of any wrongdoing at all.
Poor Flake. No one cares what he has to say.
He was BORN in a place called Snowflake?
(And I hired Donald John Trump to do the wrong things.)
What’s that annoying high pitched whinning?
That hit me right away too.
I prefer ‘turdblossom.’
Flake has been busy giving Pierre Delecto aka Mit Romney tips on how to be a worthless human. Little does Flake know that Romney didn’t need any help.
Thanks UTAH for that horrible, horrible little asswipe Romney.
The name describes the brain.
Flake news.
He’s such a phony.
Drain the swamp? Not listen to the DC bureaucracy that got us involved in HOW MANY stupid and useless wars, an IRS that persecuted taxpayers because of their political beliefs, gave a pedophile a walk because of his political connections, and gave us toilets that don't flush? I could go on. And on.
