Lieu to Flake Following Retirement Announcement: ‘Welcome to the #Resistance’
Washington Free Beacon, Oct 24, 2017, Conor Beck

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu (Calif.) tweeted on Tuesday, "Dear Senator Jeff Flake: Welcome to the #Resistance," in response to Sen. Jeff Flake's (R., Ariz.) decision not to seek reelection and Senate floor speech in which he castigated colleagues for not standing up to President Donald Trump.

The congressman retweeted a segment of Flake's speech, adding his message of "welcome" to the Arizona senator whose term is up in 2018.

Honestly blaming Trump in this instance is a cover for the fact Flake wasn't going to win the Republican nomination.

Kinda goes hand in glove with the fact he's got an F on the Conservative Review Liberty Score.

I flipped past Michael Medved yesterday just as he was saying what a reliable conservative and loyal Tea Party Member Flake was.

Medved was also reluctantly dragged kicking and screaming on to the Trump train. To his credit, he did eventually drop his NeverTrump attitude and sometimes does give the president his due.

Worse, he did it even before he was inaugurated.  It really pissed me off.  As for the original story linked above, about Flake and "the Resistance," I have to laugh and remind soon-to-be-ex Senator Flake what happens when you lie down with dogs.
