Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said Monday evening that he sometimes feels like he doesn't belong to a political party.
“I sometimes feel like a man temporarily without a party,” he said during a speech at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, according to The Washington Post.
Flake also criticized his party during the speech, saying members of the GOP have "given in to the terrible tribal impulse that first mistakes our opponents for our enemies."
“And then we become seized with the conviction that we must destroy that enemy," he said.
Flake's speech came days after he voted in the Senate Judiciary Committee to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. He also said at the time, however, that he would support Kavanaugh in the full Senate only if there were first an FBI investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct against the nominee.
Flake's call for an investigation, and Republican Sens. Susan Collins's (Mass.) and Lisa Murkowski's (Alaska) subsequent support of Flake's suggestion, prompted President Trump to ask the FBI to reopen its background investigation into Kavanaugh.
Flake said Monday that the investigation needs to be a "real investigation," according to the Post.
“It does no good to have an investigation that just gives us more cover,” Flake said. “We actually need to find out what we can find out. And we have to realize that we may not be able to find out everything that happened.”
The Senate currently plans to vote on Kavanaugh "this week," according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Gee Jeff, now you know how we feel!
Flake... Seek forgiveness from God... as you will not get it from me, I hope the folks in AZ read this.
“Flake: I sometimes feel like I’m ‘without a party’”
for sure he’s without balls as well ... thereby making him the first official eunuch to consider running for President in 2020 ...
E ti Judas?
Go to your master, Soros.
Well, whose fault is that?
Well Flake, did you think your betrayal would go unnoticed?
I sometimes feel like I’m ‘without a party’,
It’s more likely sometimes I feel like I’m without a brain!
Jeff, there is a reason. You left the party, the party didn’t leave you.
Character, jackass. You have no character.
It is your actions and decisions and your you turncoat SOB!
A democrat can not be elected as Senator in Arizona. Jeff Flake as McCain just pretended to be Republicans. Both are Democrat lite. Flake has been exposed for what he is and thus did not run again as he knew full well he would lose.
Flake is a democrat with a hatred for Trump. He will not vote for confirmation of Kavanauhg. Two or three democrats will vote for Kavanaugh for their political survival.
The democrats want to delay this decision until after the next midterm elections for two reason not one. If they win the Senate they are in control but this outcome is rather remote. If the vote is before the midterms democrat senators in red states could lose the election if they vote against Kavanaugh. Oddly regardless of the vote this week on Kavanaugh Trump wins. It would be most amusing if the Republicans pick up seats and Kavanaugh is not confirmed this week. Trump could then submit him again for confirmation and win after the midterms.
So this is how I think the scam runs: they do all the proper paperwork etc, meet with doners, interview with the usual talking heads in the MSM etc and of course do some actual road trips to campaign. But in the end, the goal is really to Not finish the race, but to just call it quits at about midway and declare some lame excuse. Then they get to keep all the leftover milions for themselves forever.
Please correct me if I am wrong here.
Hey maybe he can make himself useful by making the coffee & picking up the clothes from the cleaners for them.
Check your math. Kavanaugh needs two from these three (F, C, M) to produce a 50-50 tie.
look who showed up at his event protesting against Kavanaugh:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/01/jeff-flake-brett-kavanaugh-latest-boston-protests
and, yes, he thinks he’s running. And he think’s he’s running the investigation - he has to ‘make sure’, the implication meaning McConnell etal need ‘his’ special supervision (same link):
“Flake told a crowd of young entrepreneurs attending a Forbes “Under 30” business summit that his staff is in contact with White House counsel to make sure the investigation into accusations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh is “up to standard”.
WTH! Is he No Name reincarnated?
You are without a brain.
The Party of SATAN is where you belong!
...”Treason is like that. Flake should never be allowed to rest.”...
It is hard to avoid consequences following betrayal, Mr. Flake. Especially, when we are talking about what a lot of people think is sedition (inciting resistance) against our government and it’s laws.
Ironic, that he should be without a Party since he sold out just to be liked and invited to all the right parties with all the beautiful people.
