Jeff Flake Takes His Condemnation of Moore a Step Further

Some Republicans are so fed up with Roy Moore that they aren't just denouncing him, they're helping his Democratic opponent fundraise. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) gifted Doug Jones $100 on Tuesday in order to put "country over party."

Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was in Alabama campaigning with Moore Tuesday night. He trashed Flake's paltry donation.

"C'mon brother, if you're going to write a check, write a check," Bannon said.

Flake is a "total embarrassment," Bannon added, mocking the senator for his poor approval ratings (just 30 percent of Arizonans.)

Clearly, Flake believes at least some of the eight female accusers who allege that Moore sexually abused them. One woman, Leigh Corfman, says Moore took advantage of her when she was just a teen and he was in his 30s. She shared her story with the TODAY show last month.

Yet, Moore denies the accusations and his spokeswoman Jane Porter is going head-to-head with any media pundit who suggests otherwise. In her interview with CNN's Poppy Harlow Tuesday, Porter insisted the supposed victims were deceptive and frauds.

Flake may have been the only Republican to donate to the Democrat, but other top Republicans are publicly condemning Moore. Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney took to Twitter to share a warning that Moore would be a "stain" on the GOP. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wanted Moore to step aside. Yet, since it's clear he won't, McConnell noted that if the Senate candidate wins, he will be immediately subjected to an ethics investigation.

President Trump endorsed Moore this week and the RNC lifted its freeze on resources for the candidate.

I'm surprised John McCain hasn't offered to match.

At least one FReeper sent Moore $200 last night, after Flake sent the $100. I suspect not only will Moore’s lead increase as a result of Flakey’s check, but so will his donations.

There’s no shortage of self-righteousness among these Mormon Never-Trumpers.

Sen Flake thinks a man who will 100% kill babies in the birth canal is more principled than one who denies & rebuts unproven charges against.

Which means, again, that Sen Flake is a liar.

That Freeper should send a copy of his check to FOX News. That would be great!

Anyone asked Flake if he and/or an agent has/have ever paid out hush money? If Flake has been/is now a party to any non-disclosure agreement/s....

For the record, Flake...

When Senator Moore meets Flake, Moore should give Flake a one-fingered salute.

“Sen Flake thinks a man who will 100% kill babies in the birth canal is more principled than one who denies & rebuts unproven charges against.”

If the Mormon Church applied their religious standards equally, Flake would be excommunicated, but like most religions, the Mormon Church gives a pass to the “important” of their flock. Otherwise, Reid, Romney, and a long list of “Mormon Notables” would have had their membership revoked.

Regarding Flake and Moore the only thing one needs to know is that Moore is going to be elected and Flake can’t get reelected. Moore has overcome immense adversity and Flake contributed to his own political demise.

Religious hierarchies tend toward corruption, don’t they?

Yes, because they are nothing more than businesses.
