Romney says he’ll support Flake’s nomination to be ambassador to Turkey
deseret ^ | 09/21/2021 | D. Hunter Schwarz

Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said he’ll support the nomination of Jeff Flake as U.S. ambassador to Turkey after meeting with Flake Tuesday.

“My friend Jeff Flake is a thoughtful and accomplished public servant who will represent the United States well in a complex region of the world,” Romney said in a statement to Deseret News. “He understands the importance of standing for U.S. interests in Turkey, and I look forward to supporting his nomination when it comes before the Senate.”

When his nomination was announced by the Biden administration in July, the former Republican senator from Arizona wrote that it reaffirmed “the best tradition of American foreign policy and diplomacy: the credo that partisan politics should stop at the water’s edge. U.S. foreign policy can and should be bipartisan.”

We have other fish to fry. We can do the same for the switch hitter from Az. if she loses. A decent payback + stick it in your opponents eye. Happens all the time.

Definitely. Flake is a turkey. Send him there.

Hillary is hungry. Send her to Hungary.

Flakey should remember that it has been the RAT's who have abrogated that tradition. He continues to be a useful idiot for the Democrats.

I’m sure his support is motivated by deep state assurances he/son/family will not be connected to Biden’s Ukraine scams.

Why Turkey? I know Flake comes from Old Money. Jeff’s favorite target Trump is out of office, so he has a lot of time on his hands. Maybe he has some investments in EU countries.

Send a turkey (Flake) to Turkey and get the support from another turkey (Romney) for doing it.

Flake and Romney, both are members of the Magic Underwear Club.

Well at least it would get The Flake out of the country. Hopefully Biden will appoint Romney ambassador to Afghanistan next.

Flake the Stooge needs a job.
So give him an Ambassadorship.

This “Public Servant” shiite has got to stop. Grifters, Thieves and Criminals is what they are.

Let it all burn . . .
