Phoenix New Times on Flake

The New Times is a liberal publication. Disclaimer: I am acquainted with past and present reporters. They were the only voice in the darkness opposing Sheriff Joe during his reign of terror.

I told Kirsten Gillibrand, long ago, she was far to conservative for me. Oh boy, was I ever wrong.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to do anything about it.
Two Tweets Reveal the Impotent Essence of Jeff Flake

STEVEN HSIEH | SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 | 2:36PM

Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, the anthropomorphized loaf of stale bread resigning after this term, made clear his disgust over an Instagram post from Donald Trump Jr. mocking Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when the two were in high school.
Trump's oldest son posted a fake "sexual assault letter found by Dems," written in crayon, that says, "Hi Cindy, Will you be my girlfriend?" The letter is signed, "Love, Brett."

Flake's denouncement is unsurprising. Just as unsurprising: His moral indignation only goes so far as doing exactly what the Republican establishment wants him to do.

A day before his criticism of Trump Jr., Flake tweeted that he wants to move rush a vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

knowing full well how this Guy's background will show one first hand how he will Vote on Women's issues. And if one is thinking of equal status,is has to be a real kick in the gut. Knowing ones background is a forecast to ones future,and Flake's is being amplified with a Bull Horn.
