Republican Sen. Jeff Flake gets slammed in raucous town hall meeting

Sen. Jeff Flake encountered a raucous audience at a town hall meeting in Mesa, Arizona, on Thursday night.

Constituents peppered the Republican lawmaker with questions about President Donald Trump's actions in office, and his broader agenda on climate change, the president's taxes, the Supreme Court and Planned Parenthood.

Much like other GOP town halls held since Trump assumed the Oval Office, attendees railed against Flake, many of whom accused him of being a rubber stamp for Trump. Flake, like Reps. Jason Chaffetz, Mike Coffman, and Sen. Mitch McConnell before him, attempted to answer the audience's concerns, though most explanations drew shouts and boos from the crowd.

That was especially evident when an audience member asked Flake about Trump's nearly weekly trips to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago.

Yet Flake will get reelected next go around, proving these agitators aren’t an accurate representation of Arizona at large.

Finally! Something that Arizona Conservatives can agree on! Flake must go!

Jeff Flake is one of my least favorite senators. That said, if he’s the nominee in 2018, I hope he can win. He should be able to, considering that Arizona is a predominantly Republican state.

The people attending these townhall meetings need to be vetted and they should have to prove that they’re constituents and not just bused-in paid agitators.

Flake, like his mentor McCain, is a Cheap Labor Express stooge who voted for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill and needs to be Cantorized out of office in 2018.

Falke should not be re-elected. He voted for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill and will do it again if not removed from office.

Forget the leftists, I have a problem with Flake and hope he gets primaried. He is a member of the Gang of 8 that pushed amnesty and he refused to endorse Trump. The sooner he is out of the Senate, the better.

Not if Kelli Ward has anything to say about it.

Well, Senator Flake these are the people you are placating with all your RINOism and amnesty.

Why don't you just become a real Constitutionalist? Placating them won't make them shut up.

That wasn't the point.

Regardless, if her run against McCain is any guide, I doubt Ward will be saying much about it.

These disrupters do not want explanations, they want the confrontation that gets recorded for the evening news and as a propaganda onslaught when the next election rolls around. Whatever questions are asked will be edited to look as if they were asked in a polite manner, then the reaction of the now ruffled host of the town hall meeting is played and replayed, making him (or her) appear to have totally lost it.

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Impossible.
Flake sold his sold to the Cheap Labor Express long ago when he was still in the House.

Jeff Flake IS a flake. He needs to go. Don’t know how he ever won the election.

Why does that name sound familiar? Didn’t she run recently and lose?
