Flake pens op-ed telling Senate Republicans to 'put country over party' in Senate trialBy Brooke Seipel - 12/20/19 08:45 PM EST Former Republican Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) called on current GOP senators to put "country over party" when President Trump's impeachment trial begins.Flake, in a new op-ed for The Washington Post published Friday, told senators not to be "complicit" and warned that if they are, they "cede our constitutional responsibilities [and] set the most dangerous of precedents."The warning comes just days after the House voted to charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, making him the third president in U.S. history to be impeached. The vote passed largely along party lines as Republicans have fiercely defended the president and his actions with Ukraine.morehttps://thehill.com/homenews/senate/475581-flake-pens-op-ed-telling-senate-republicans-to-put-country-over-party-in
I am sick that I ever voted for this Quisling. His TDS drives his every waking moment and he could care less for the integrity of the Constitution...he's attempting to virtue signal to the Romney-Collins-Murkowski wing and provide them cover for gumming up McConnell's management of the trial. If he were truly concerned about the Constitution he'd be decrying...daily...the un-Constitutional sham that just occurred in the House. His silence throughout that travesty defines who he is, and what he cares about.
So thats where the squeaking and mewling sounds are coming from. Jeff Flake is trying to reassert himself.
I noticed he now considers WaPo his "hometown paper."
He's K Street's cockroach now.
Flake.
Nowhere in the annals of Congress has a Senator been more aptly named.I heard his parents wished him to be a girl as they had the first name ready as Ima.
Those Arizona folks sure do elect some strange ones, don't they?From BOTH parties.
We like to keep all y'all guessing....
You all are pusillanimous.
"My simple test for all of us: What if President Barack Obama had engaged in precisely the same behavior? I know the answer to that question with certainty, and so do you," Flake wrote. "You would have understood with striking clarity the threat it posed, and you would have known exactly what to do."But what is indefensible is echoing House Republicans who say that the president has not done anything wrong. He has," he continued. "If there ever was a time to put country over party, it is now. And by putting country over party, you might just save the Grand Old Party before it’s too late."
A logically devastating op ed...inarguable...witness this thread.
