Flake: Republicans who don't call Trump out are complicit

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Sunday said that Republican leaders who do not call President Trump out are complicit.

“I do think so,” Flake told CBS’s “Face the Nation” when asked if GOP leaders are complicit if they fail to call out Trump.

“I think that you know, obviously the last thing you want to do is wake up every morning and see a tweet and think, ‘I just---‘ you know, it’s tough not to just say ‘I’m not going to respond.’ And we can’t respond to everything. But there are times when you have to stand up and say, ‘I’m sorry. This is wrong.’”

Flake said elected officials must hold each other responsibility, whether it’s in the White House or other lawmakers.

“There are truths that are self-evident. And you’ve got to stand up and call whether it’s the White House or other elected officials, to task, when they’re not doing what they should,” he said.

Complicit in WHAT?

Enforcing our borders?

Draining the swamp?

Pissing off the globalists?

Exposing the deep state as THE enemy of the people?

If that's true, then where are Graham and McCain joined?

Fellow Freepers, I apologize profusely for sending two such dud to congress. The deck is stacked here, it’s either these guys or howling lunatic liberals and these two have LOTS of money and pull.
