Flake: Kavanaugh initially sounded like someone who had been ‘unjustly accused’
By Megan Keller - 09/30/18 11:00 AM EDT

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said in an interview to be broadcast Sunday evening that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement at a hearing on sexual assault allegations was consistent with that of someone who has been unjustly accused.

"When I heard him, I heard someone who I hope I would sound like, if I had been unjustly accused," Flaked told CBS's "60 Minutes" when asked about Kavanaugh's judicial temperament.

“If I was unjustly accused, that’s how I would feel, as well. And as it went on – I think his interaction with some of the members was a little too sharp,” he added.

“But the statement in the beginning, I thought was pretty raw but in keeping with someone who had been unjustly accused.”

But then, Traitor Flake?  Was that when you caved in to the well-staged screaming in the elevator?

Well Jeff, with any luck, you will get to experience the same thing at some point.  Show us how it's done.

I've yet to be convinced that either this guy or the two "weak sisters" are going to vote 'aye' for Kavanaugh, investigation or no...

When "the members" are lying character assassins, the interaction *should* be sharp.  I hope "the members" experience a sharp interaction with voters at each of their next elections.  Unfortunately, some were merely representing their constituencies faithfully.  The "indivisible" union is not long for this world at this rate.

Flake revealed himself as a coward in the elevator. He should be reduced to a pariah.  In a more enlightened day, voters would have shipped canes to Congress so that a real patriot could "finish the job" on the Senate floor.

I'm convinced Flake staged the whole thing to give him cover.

I'm almost worried now that even a positive investigation for Kavanaugh, say, he comes out as clean as a whistle may not be good enough for Flake, Murkowski, Collins. Flake is showing himself to be a real backstabber, lowest of the low....horrible.

Flake got his payola so now he’s free to say anything.

TomSea observes (correctly):
"I'm almost worried now that even a positive investigation for Kavanaugh, say, he comes out as clean as a whistle may not be good enough for Flake, Murkowski, Collins."

Well, man...

Why do you think I've been recommending a certain course of action by the president over the last several days, that EVERYONE in this forum is against?

Do you want Judge Kavanaugh on the Court, or don't you?

I do. And I'm willing to go "thermonuclear" to get that done.
I'm wondering if Mr. Trump isn't thinking along the same lines....
