Flake calls Trump supporters' 'lock her up' chants 'disturbing,' fears for future of GOP

Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said in a recent interview that he hopes somebody runs against President Trump in the 2020 election, and that Trump supporters' continued chants of "lock her up" — typically in reference to Hillary Clinton — are "disturbing."

In his retirement interview with C-SPAN, Flake said the chants, which were sparked by Trump's campaign and have continued throughout his presidency, are more concerning than the controversial things Trump says.

"The disturbing thing isn’t so much what [Trump] says anymore, it’s the cheers from people behind him and the chants of, 'Lock her up!' for example that’s just unseemly," Flake said. "It does make me fear that it's going to be a longer process to get out of this than it should be."

While the signature chant often heard at Trump's campaign rallies has been reserved for Clinton, at the president's rally in Iowa on Tuesday night, Trump mentioned Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., asking the crowd: "How about Senator Feinstein? That's another beauty."

Moments later, the crowd quickly started up the familiar chant....

...the chants of, 'Lock her up!' for example that’s just unseemly," Flake said.

So it's "unseemly" to hold democRats accountable for felonies, or just politicians in general?

Not many would accept their party invitations.

Probably not many would want to be around those two POSs

Jeff Flake did not run for reelection as he knew full well he would lose because of his political beliefs that were also known full well by the people of Arizona. He is of no consequence. I do thank him for voting for Judge Kavenaugh after his insane demands for a new investigation. It is now time for him to just go away or become a democrat and then be thrown away again by the people of Arizona.

But he isn’t disturbed by Hillary’s calls for more incivility (inciting violence)

And isn’t disturbed by the phony russia investigation designed to frame and lock up trump from something he didnt do of course.

What a snowflake

That's odd, he's never had any problem agreeing with or remaining silent about malfeasance and outright crimes of Demwits, or rather, his fellow Demwits. Republican my ass.

We should change the chant to “Lock him up”. I could go for that.

I would lock up most of the republican party for what they allowed O’muslim to do to this country.

Hopefully, Arizona voters will flip Flake’s Senate seat to a Republican.

The only reason “string her up” is disturbing is it hasn’t happened yet.

Well, Hillary may have committed crimes that are punishable by prison time.

He apparently didn’t find the Democrat mobs disturbing, though. He didn’t find it disturbing either that he was accosted in an elevator, but then, that was a pre-arranged scene wasn’t it, Jeff?
