During Mondays broadcast of CBSs This Morning, former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) sounded off on his outspokenness against President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming Senate impeachment trial.
Flake, who was never shy about his distrust of Trump, said it is difficult for Republican lawmakers to speak out against Trump because they do not want to lose their jobs.

We need to deal with this treasonous SOB once and for all.
+100!
They want to keep their jobs because if they speak against Trump they are speaking against their voters. See, that’s real simple Jeff. Senators are not free-lancers.
And why is it difficult for Democrats to speak out in favor of Trump?
I suspect that Flake’s imagination is running wild again.
Here’s his problem: Something like 25 Republican House members had announced their retirements when the Impeachment vote was taken late last year. Yet NOT A SINGLE ONE joined the Democrats in their Impeachment vote. They had nothing to lose at that point, at least regarding keeping their seats, yet they sided with Trump. Maybe someday Flake will explain how that happened.
Jeff who?
So this putz is saying it’s a shame the republicans have to going along with the wishes of the people they have been elected to represent. Is it any wonder this guy had an approval in the single digits.
“Flakeys opinion matters why?”
Simple, because THE LEFT owns the media and can stick him in the faces of millions of people whenever they feel like it.
If we had control and his agent came knocking, we could simply tell him that he’s no longer a player and shouldn’t have left the Senate if he wanted air time. In other words, let him go to a Think Tank to live out his golden years, as retired Trump supporters are now forced to do.
What part of “the will of the people” don’t you understand, dirtbag?
(Flake, not you)
A one term nobody, but the MSMs go to guy when they need to GOP anti trump story...
Go home Flake... nobody cares
Note that this is said by the man who could not keep his.
And yet here he is talking now just like when he was a Senator. It has nothing to do with Trump. The base is no longer in the mood for clowns like you Jeff.
Is Flake retarded? Seriously.
Poor jealous NINE PERCENT APPROVAL Saint Jeffy, he knows what a LOSER he is.
Even though Saint Jeffy comes from Arizona, he knows hes hated and is not welcome in his home state. He lives in the DC swampthe only place who wants him and is making Hate Trump appearances on D rate Fake News shows.
Hey Jeffy, I heard CNN is paying $200 per appearance for scum like you to bash Trump, youd better go for it, you need the money!!
Furthermore, he is calling those same people stupid.
GOP should NEVER speak out against their party...........Just remember Flake, Democrats never do so you have no point
Wow. That was the most arrogant thing I’ve read that a politician said about the voters.
Though I’ll note that even Flake denied Trump did anything to be impeached.
But he said we were “primary voters” “a subset of a subset of a subset”. Man we damn near down in the sewers.
Then he says we have a “cult of personality” shrugging his shoulders bodily stating “what are you gonna do?”
What an arrogant asshole.
