1. I hope Coons kicked his ass.

[PearliePoo2]

2. I saw that! What the hell is going on I wonder?

[RhodeIslandOne]

3. Did Coons say something about him?

[mobeau69]

4. Saw it. Weird.

[angrychair]

5. Good. Fuck him.

ANYONE that votes to confirm this whiny rapey conspiracy nut should fuck off and never come back.

6. womp womp

If he pisses on half the country with his decision to vote YES on Kavanaugh, he should expect some people to be upset. Rape, Attempted Rape and sexual assault are a helluva lot more important than Flake's feelings.

7. I am not watching at the moment. Did Chris Coons say something about Flake?

[PA Democrat]

13. I heard part of Coons's remarks and did not hear anything directed at Flake.

[California_Republic]

8. Who was upset?

[peekaloo]

9. Perhaps his malfunctioning spinal column has triggered his conscience.

Boof him!

[gratuitous]

10. THOSE MEAN WOMEN WERE MEAN TO ME! WHAAAAAAA!

Just a guess.

Sen. Flake was confronted earlier today when he was trying to skedaddle on the Senators and Staff Only elevator. Two women tag-teamed him about his disgusting decision to support Judge Kreepazoid. Two of his (presumed) staffers, both women, were on the elevator with him. The blonde on the right stood there stone-faced staring straight ahead the entire time. The brunette in the middle tried to ignore what was going on right in front of her, but eventually sidled behind the blonde in a vain attempt to hide her identity.

Flake, meanwhile, after initially protesting that he "had to go," spent the rest of the time staring at his shoe tips, nodding a little as if to say, "Yup, you've got it 100% right, ladies. I don't care about sexual assault and you and your stories mean nothing to me."

12. From another reporter:

Something weird is happening — lots of chatter among Democrats after Coons and Klobuchar returned from their talk with Flake

[TeamPooka]

14. Don't count on Flake for anything

[kentuck]

15. It's possible to vote YES in Committee and NO on the floor...

It makes sense to let the entire Senate vote. Anyway, McConnell said he was going to the floor for a vote, no matter if he was defeated in Committee...

[Jersey Devil]

18. I believe that happened in a procedural vote to repeal ACA

Didn't one Repub Senator vote to proceed to the final vote on ACA and then vote against it? McCain?

[Blue_true]

19. Yes, it was McCain, because he knew that tactic would kill republicans' efforts. nt

[blueinredohio]

16. Giving his excuses about why he has to vote yes.

[MuseRider]

17. Wasn't Flake around lately

looking like he was considering a presidential run?

WTH is he doing? He is Flakey, seriously.
