Sen. Flake: Local GOP should not host Trump’s Arizona event (because he is a "birther")
Washington Post ^ | July 9, 2015 | Philip Rucker

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) is calling on the local Republican Party to withdraw its sponsorship of a campaign event scheduled for Saturday that will feature presidential candidate Donald Trump and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

In an interview with The Washington Post on Thursday, Flake said both Trump and Arpaio's inflammatory rhetoric about immigrants and about President Obama's place of birth are not reflective of the Republican Party's values.

“It’s not just on the immigration side. Donald Trump is just about the last unapologetic birther in the country," Flake said, referring to Trump's false contention that Obama was not born in the United States. Flake added that Arpaio also is an "unapologetic birther."

Flake is as much a Democrat as McQueeg is.

Liberal Flacky got other motives. Flake’s kid was under sheriff investigation for neglect that lead to the death of many dogs.

Flake is another who campaigned as a conservative and then decided to ‘grow’ once he started attending the DC dinner circuit.

Pains me that I actually donated to him.

Another elite striver.

It’s NOT necessarily that Flake couldn’t handle the truth. The truth be told...Flake would not necessarily know the truth even if the two were personally introduced, shook hands and spoke for 15 minutes. After his election, he’s always seen as a horse’s backside. Flake and McCain The two certainly need to start drinking again...a fast return trip the the fountain of knowledge might be a wise start.

Thanks for the ping, Seize. In Flake’s highly-insulated DC-Insider Permanent Political Class world there are few if any so-called birthers. In the real world it is a different ballgame.

Jeff Flake’s ‘republican values’ are why I’ll never give to the GOP again.

Trump is blowing up political correctness...going to be interesting moving forward. The electorate is responding to straight talkers...

Flake’s son and daughter in law are dog killers. Sheriff Joe is pissed off because the DA dropped charges.

As great a state as Arizona is, the senators it has elected are beyond incomprehensible choices.

FWIW..........The roadside billboards in Kenya say, “Birthplace of President Barack Hussein Obama.” That could be a clue.

What flaky Flake is saying: There should be no diversity among candidates.

What else? How about: The next time he runs the Dem will beat him like a drum, unless like McCain he is saved from the base by AZ’s ridiculous open primaries.
