Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer pleaded with Republican Senators on Monday to defeat President Trump’s nominee to a North Carolina judgeship, saying Thomas Alvin Farr has shown he doesn’t respect black voters’ rights.
Mr. Schumer said all 49 Democrats will vote against Mr. Farr, as will one Republican, Sen. Jeff Flake.
If they can sway another GOP senator, they could defeat the nomination, dealing a blow to Mr. Trump.
“This is a man who stands for disenfranchisement of voters, particularly minority voters, that is what he stands for. You can try to parse it any way you want, but that is what he has done. That is not America,” Mr. Schumer said on the chamber floor.

Jeff Flake isn's a Republican, the judicial nominee isn't a racist, and Schumer is and always hass been unfit for office.
Yep, Flake is an insufferable a$$ and traitor. If he seeks political office in the future it wouldn’t be a surprise if it is as a RAT.
