Former Arizona Senator and RINO Republican Jeff Flake who earned an appointment by Joe Biden as Ambassador to Turkey for his service to the Democrat Party began his tenure by interfering in the internal affairs of Turkey. His actions provoked a rebuke by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who said he will not receive Biden’s appointee.
Flake visited Republican People’s Party leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu at the center-left political party’s Ankara headquarters in late March. The visit conveyed a sense of U.S. support for his candidacy violating normal diplomatic protocol. Kilicdaroglu is Erdogan’s main opponent for the presidency, in the May 14 elections.
Flake then had the audacity to ask for an audience with Erdogan. “It’s not right, try to think a little. You are an ambassador,” the Turkish President said in rebuking Flake. “Your contact here is the president. As an ambassador, you must know your role. How dare you ask for a meeting with the president now? Our doors have been closed to him.”
Erdogan criticized Flake on Sunday during a meeting with representatives of the Gray Wolves, a group of supporters of the Ulkucu movement. Its political branch, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), is an ally of Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP). AKP and MHP have formed a coalition for the parliamentary and presidential elections, in which Erdogan is also supported by smaller Islamist parties.
After embarrassing himself on the national stage with his irrational hatred of Donald Trump, Flake has now managed to embarrass both himself and the United States in the international arena. His only qualification to be an ambassador is his subservience to the Biden administration’s globalist agenda.

Flake is truly a Washington insider. He mentioned his interest in African issues came from his work as a Mormon missionary in southern Africa.
In the 1990’s, Flake worked as a lobbyist for a mining company in Namibia: Rossing Uranium with ties to Iran. Flake also registered as a foreign agent during this time-frame.
The, Flake also headed an organization advocating for Namibian independence. After Namibian achieved independence in 1990, Jeff and his wife Cheryl moved back to Washington, D.C.
At first, Flake claimed he did not know the company was partially owned by Iran and that his work with the company did not play a role in his congressional votes on Iranian issues. He mentioned he was paid $7,000 a month to lobby for the company.
Embarassing.
Flake has alway been a pain in the ***.
An Ambassador is a representative of the US Government to the Government of their assigned country. Anything OUTSIDE of the sitting Government should not only be an embarrassment, but it should also be cause for immediate, automatic removal from your CURRENT Ambassadorship, and remove your ability to ever be reassigned as an Ambassador!
This is why a good portion of the world HATES America! We are too busy getting into other countries’ business! This is also why America sends so much of our tax dollars to every little POS country in the world...to buy influence or start coups!
So the traitor Flake got his payoff from the Biden Regime with a cushy ambassador position.
Give the RINO a break, he was only following orders from his democrat masters.
Flake’s whole career was in the shadow of McCain. Whenever they were together McCain would say, “If I had his looks and my brains imagine what I could Accomplish!?” That’s how cruel John McCain was. That being said, Jeff Flake was an odd duck for sure. Does anyone remember the shirtless photo shoot?
>> And that somehow translates into a war FOR US?? <<
God NO! I was just trying to make clear I wasn’t trying to create a cassus belli against Turkey!
Flakes, flakes
Flakes, flakes
They don’t do no good
They never be workin’ when they oughta should
They waste your time
They’re wastin’ mine
California’s got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them
-Frank Zappa
What a flake! 😆
Biden is trying to weaponize US embassies in targeted host nations for supporting political opposition/unrest and regime changes.
No.
Jeff Flake. Even his nose leans left.
That's what he is doing and we wonder why the world hates us?
