Trump Says He Thought Flake Was A Democrat [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/2017 | Amber Athey

Posted on 10/25/2017 1:21:20 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

One day after Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake delivered a rebuke of the president on the Senate floor, Donald Trump told reporters Flake “did the right thing” by not running for reelection in Arizona.

“He was against me from before he ever knew me,” Trump told reporters Wednesday. “He wrote a book about me before I ever met him, before I ever heard his name.”

“His poll numbers are so low in Arizona that he couldn’t win,” he continued. “And I don’t blame him for leaving, I think he did the right thing for himself.”

Trump took some additional shots at Flake, calling his book “horrible” and alleging that he thought the senator was a Democrat when he first heard him talking on TV.

“In fact I remember the first time I saw him on television I said, ‘I assume he’s a Democrat, is he a Democrat?’ and they said, ‘He’s a Republican,'” Trump recalled. “I said, ‘that’s impossible.'”

“He’s done terribly for the great people of Arizona, a state that likes Donald Trump very much, and he would have never won,” Trump concluded. “This way he can get out somewhat gracefully…I wish him well.”

Telling Corker that he couldn’t win dogcatcher is classic too.

No one knows how to deal with him, but I will tell you, if you’re from New York, you know exactly where he’s coming from.

If you just read the speech on the Senate floor, you’d swear it came from Nancy or Chuck.

Some freeper had it good. . . the sanctimonious, flakey senator from Arizona preached from on high about his moral revulsion, demanded to be heard about his need to lead the resistance in the senate - then promptly quits!

Now why don’t you and your friend Obama go get yer shinebox, Flake. Beat it!

The first time anyone hears McCain, they assume he’s Manchurian.

Jeff Flake and John McCain won’t visit the Prescott area, a Trump stronghold. They know they will be given the cold shoulder.

Flake and Maxine Waters sound exactly the same when it comes to how they feel about Trump. And when it comes to their politics, they’re not that far apart, and McCain is probably giving them lessons.
