Joy Reid: "So what Jeff Flake is saying is that he has proudly voted for all of Stalin's judges..."

Sen. @JeffFlake: "It is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by Josef Stalin to describe his enemies..."

"Mr. President, it is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by Josef Stalin to describe his enemies," Flake plans to say in the Senate remarks.

"It bears noting that so fraught with malice was the phrase 'enemy of the people,' that even (later Soviet leader) Nikita Khrushchev forbad its use, telling the Soviet Communist Party that the phrase had been introduced by Stalin to for the purpose of 'annihilating such individuals' who disagreed with the supreme leader," Flake will say.

"This alone should be a source of great shame for us in this body, especially those of us in the president's party. For they are shameful and repulsive statements."
