GOP Sen. Jeff Flake said being confronted by two sexual assault victims in a Capitol elevator and the testimony from the accuser of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh combined to make him realize the confirmation process was “tearing the country apart.”
“I don’t think anybody expected what happened on Friday to happen. And I can’t say that I did either,” the Arizona lawmaker told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired Sunday.
“I just knew that we couldn’t move forward, that I couldn’t move forward without hitting the pause button. Because, what I was seeing, experiencing, in an elevator and watching it in committee and just thinking, this is tearing the country apart,” he continued.
Flake and Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, both members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, launched a bipartisan effort last Friday to delay a confirmation vote on Kavanaugh for a week so the FBI could investigate the sexual impropriety claims made against him by Christine Blasey Ford.
Coons said his phone was “blowing up” with people relating to him their accounts of being sexually attacked as Ford testified.

Everyone hates Jeff Flake.
DO YOUR F ING JOB, GIRLIE GIRL!
No...corrupt democrats who have weaponized the “consent” responsibility of the US Constitution are tearing this country apart.
And why do you keep listening to Coons?
WEll, Flakey...hadn’t been for you and your RINO Wrecking Crew this could have been over with for a couple of weeks.
Besides, why does it worry you, you’re history.
FFFFFF Flake.
Agree, Flake should have told them that their experiences, while appalling, are not relevant to this case.
His caving also has given leftist antagonists aid and comfort to do the same to other representatives in the future - they will see that it works.
What is tearing the country apart is leftist hysteria and the failure of our elected reps to stand up against it - thanks Jeff Flake for contributing to it.
F’ing liar.
What a schmuck! Throw em all in Leavenworth. Let’s start over!
The idiot and Coons were on 60 minutes tonight. I quickly changed the channel.
Like the murderous child complaining to the court that he is an orphan.
It’s a sign that the country has already been torn apart by liberals.
Liberals are the littlest snowflakes and the most insane, intolerant, bigoted, stingiest, polluting, angry, unfriendly, greedy, fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, child-abusing, amoral, stupid, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, Jew-hating, Israel-hating, communist, vote-rigging, vulgar, dirty, smelly, election-rejecting, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, poo-flinging, cop-killing, war-mongering, conservative black hating, and scared little lying thumb-sucking idiots God has ever created.
Somebody call up Mrs. Flake, and ask her to fill a metal bucket with cold water. Walk into the dining room with the bucket. Dump contents of same bucket all over her husbands carefully coiffed head, and yell “This one is for all us Deplorables!!!” Then, make HIM mop up the wet floor.
He’s going to jellyfish and vote no on the Senate floor — watch.
How dare Flake? If it wasn’t for him, this would all quiet down. He is just the malevolent scum who enjoys tearing this country apart and bsadmouthing the people in his own party There are no new words for a piece of garbage like this man. he is a rotten person. GTHF
How dare him. I never want to see that rotten crooked face again.
Total bs, Democrats aren’t cooperating with anybody and he knows it
God, he’s such a dope.
Flakey Flake’s Fault. As Bugs Bunny used to say, What a Maroon.
Even Sasse the Asse has been behaved on this one.
