WASHINGTON D.C. - Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) clashed with presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump in a private meeting on Thursday, according to the Washington Post.

A representative for Flake confirmed the details of their exchange during Trump's meeting with Senate Republicans.

When Flake introduced himself, Trump said Flake had "been very critical" of him.

Sources told the Post that Flake responded by calling himself "the other senator from Arizona -- the one who didn't get captured."

Guess it’s proven Flake is a jackass and a traitor.

He didn’t get captured but his brain is just as screwed up.

Flake sounds like a Flake..a so-called “Moderate” Republican which means LIBERAL..let him go vote for Hillary Clinton

Sources told the Post that Flake responded by calling himself “the other senator from Arizona — the one who didn't get captured.”


More appropriately, Flake should have responded by calling himself “the other senator from Arizona — the one who isn't going to get re elected.”

It took Arizona 35 years to get sick and tired of John McCain

Flake is on track to accomplish that feat in less than one term in the Senate

Further, I won’t accept his version of events. He’s an attention whore as well as an amnesty apologist.

Let’s defend AMERICANS senator, we aren’t in Mexico yet.

"...the one who didn't get captured..."

First impressions really do last the longest. Introduce yourself with a snarky comment and don't be surprised if you're henceforth treated as a snarky loose-cannon.

A mormon, and likely a Romney supporter. Biased, unethical, and potentially destructive.

Flake thinks he’s smart that he isn’t up for reelect until 2018. I promise you I will not have forgotten and will support the defeat of this turd.

They not only put self before country, their country is Mexico!

This was a private meeting. Flake ran to the media to give his version of his so called exchange with Trump.

Flake is strongly opposed to securing the border. He is strongly in favor of unlimited amnesty.

Flake is not trustworthy. I do not believe his self-serving account.

Trump is the only Republican with an ounce of courage or integrity.

Flake is a cowardly little backstabber.

Washington comPost is the original source. So take with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, Flake can shove it.

Pro-amnesty, pro-Castro, weak kneed on social issues, and unaccomplished.

Why does a good state like Arizona elect two crappy senators?

Go, Donald J. Trump! Anyone who doesn’t line up behind him is a flake, a creep, and an enemy of America.

Open primaries are the reason jerks like this are elected on the GOP ticket. Rinos who depend on open primaries:

Lindsey Graham
John McCain
Jeff Flake
Lamar Alexander
Bob Corker
John Cornyn
Thad Cochran

Senator Flake hasn't said or done anything to have us doubt that he's a total *ss.

These people need to be careful. Trump remembers stuff like this and we all know he hits back, and hits back hard. Trump’s hammer may not fall today, or tomorrow, but it will fall on these people. Their careers will be damaged or destroyed. Donald has probably assigned Byron to keep take names. :-)
