Sen. Jeff Flake: I didn't like Kavanaugh's partisan tone

Sen. Jeff Flake — who on Friday said he would not vote for Brett Kavanaugh on the Senate floor without an FBI investigation — said he didn't like the judge's "partisan" tone during his testimony last week.

"I didn't like some of the more partisan references and the tone, particularly the interaction with some of my colleagues, with Amy Klobuchar, that he came back and apologized after a break," Flake said referencing comments Kavanaugh made to the Minnesota Democrat.

Flake continued: "I don't want to politicize the court. The Supreme Court is one of the last bastions of trust of an institution with which Americans have trust."

Flake also said he wants the FBI to conduct a "real investigation."

"It does no good to have an investigation that just gives us more cover, for example. We actually need to find out what we can find out," he said.

Mitch needs to forget Flake and focus negotiations on Collins and Murkowski. There’s something they want in exchange for their votes. Get it on the table and bargain.

Dinking around with Flake is useless -- and more importantly -- we don't need him.

Yep. Don’t count on Corn Flakes vote. He hates Trump so much that he’ll rather tarnish what he knows is a good man in Kavanaugh to get back at Trump with a last hurrah

So the Dems go on a historical partisan witch hunt against the man and then get upset that he responds?

Uh, OK.

Yeah, forget this moron at this point, try to get Collins and Murkowski on-board, and if you can, tell Flake to take a hike.

I don’t think the Judge’s tone was “partisan.” I thought it was obvious that he thinks ALL of you are lower than maggots.

If it makes you feel special, though, Jeffy, you can be the head maggot.

"We actually need to find out what we can find out," he said.

Was this quote from Jeff Flake or Yogi Berra?

There is an Indiana Rat senator that is really hurting. Mitch or someone needed to pressure him.. if he comes out from Kav in the next day or two the rest will kill themselves jumping on. Kav by 55. THAT is the guy they should focus on, not Manchin.

Flake has a point. Kavanaugh singled out Democrats for their detestable behavior...he forgot to include Flake, a ‘Republican ‘

Yeah, Kavanaugh should just have been a squish RINO like you and let the Dems walk all over him without a fight.

Trump and now Kavanaugh fight back. That is why Trump is president and you couldn't top 20 percent in polling for re-election.

Yes, Jeff, you only allow fascistic partisanship to thrive among your Trump hating friends.

Jeff, do you pretend for a moment that the Dems have been objective in this process?

No, what Mitch needs to do is to publicly tell Flake to resign. Resign from the Senate then, and quit playing games.

Flake is playing games with the country. He is nothing more than a narcissistic schmuck thinking that he's going to be embraced by the Left after he leaves. The fact is, he's going to become a nobody, because the libs don't want to have nothing to do with him and he's already burnt his bridges with conservatives.

Then Mitch needs to tell Collins and Murky that they will vote for Kavanaugh, or they will be stripped of their committee chairs and cut off pork for their states.
