During Monday’s broadcast of CBS’s “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.

Elected officials should not consider government their job.
Excellent post. The most insightful and to the point yet posted.
What is amazing is that Flake is to stupid to understand this and instead views it as some sort of a problem.
Funny how we don’t see Flake on local news here in AZ but he’s got his face in the national media spotlight!
I sure hope he doesn’t run for governor or anything else for that matter.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Didn’t a doofus run for governor once and get beaten by Janet Reno?
Jeff proves he is definitely a “FLAKE!”
Hopefully he's right for one of the few times in his life...We who put Trump in office will take out those Republicans in office who don't support him...
Do you mean Janet Napolitano? She beat our Matt Salmon and Dick Mahoney.

“The whole We The People thing is lost on Jeff.”
Sooo true!
Trump forced a large number of anti trumpers out. How could Trump do it... because they were as dirty as Biden. Leave or be exposed. Bye bye snow-Flake.
Get a real job Jeff...politics is fantasyland where you get to keep donations and not pay tax on those. Flake’s last name says it all.
They all are. Every one of them. Spineless, filthy, disgusting, traitorous wretches, the entire lot, R or D. If they weren't, we wouldn't be dealing with half the garbage we're dealing with.
Trump has 95% approval from Republican voters.
95%
Failing to support him IS a career-ender so I suppose Flake is right in this instance.
The 17th. Amendment put us at the mercy of this country’s 100 biggest egomaniacs.
As former Senator Flake has discovered, there are limits to egotistical self-absorption, even for Senators. Poor baby actually thought it was all about him. It wasn’t.
and why might they lose their job asshat? They would because they are against the will of the people they REPRESENT. They are not supposed to represent lobby groups or deep pocket types. They are supposed the represent their constituents. Otherwise, why have elections??
AH yes. The almighty Flake who is still pissed that his Mormon buddies did not manage to save his ass since they were exposed.
Thats all it was about to Flake and his ilk. They wanted the illegal immigration to continue so the eastern and southern Ranchers in AZ could continue with their near free ranch hand employment.
And who fires them ? We the VOTERS do !
