The Flake Who Won’t Go Away

Breitbart-

Former Republican Sen. Jeff Flake (AZ) has called on his former colleagues to “put country over party” throughout President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial in a new op-ed for the Washington Post.

“President Trump is on trial. But in a very real sense, so are you. And so is the political party to which we belong,” Flake wrote.

Flake, who represented Arizona in the U.S. Senate from 2013 until 2019, urged his former colleagues to undergo a “simple test,” which involves questioning how former President Barack Obama would have been treated under the same circumstances.

“What if President Barack Obama had engaged in precisely the same behavior?” Flake asked rhetorically. “You would have understood with striking clarity the threat it posed, and you would have known exactly what to do.”

In the piece, Flake, who has been a frequent critic of President Trump from within the Republican Party, affirms that he believes President Trump has engaged in questionable behavior.

“But what is indefensible is echoing House Republicans who say that the president has not done anything wrong,” Flake stated. “He has.”

According to Flake, Americans have witnessed the “appalling spectacle” where House Republicans “bend to the president’s will by attempting to shift blame with the promotion of bizarre and debunked conspiracy theories.”

“If there ever was a time to put country over party, it is now,” Flake concluded. “And by putting country over party, you might just save the Grand Old Party before it’s too late.”

  2. As a director of the john mcshitstain institue of the songbird cries and foreign aide skimming and backstabbing society, maybe he can apply for the same position that hunter “meth breath” biden did w/his deceased brothers wife, only with megan, she needs someone near her to tell her how wonderful her rolls of fat enhance her fake boobs/mental acuiety and hold her box of tissues every time someone tells the truth/slurs her good daddy’s name.

  3. In that entire screed, The only “wrong-doing“ Flake could cite was yelling ‘lock her up’ at rallies and saying “it must suck to be that dumb”. I guess Flake must have been offended by that last one.

    Now that corruption by deep-state actors is being exposed, I think Flakey must be sweating bullets.

  4. Do what’s right for the country.

    Disenfranchise half of it and tell them they have no say so in the government or in how their lives are run.

    Start a civil war that might have about a hundred million dead by the time it ends and the country broken up with most of it under foreign control.

    Yeah, do what’s right for the country.

  5. Here’s how a senator might vote for or against DJT’s removal depending on whether he puts party or country first:

    Party first: not guilty

    Country first: not only not guilty, but also innocent, absolved, exonerated, celebrated, applauded, and commended
