Jeff Flake Coming To Boston Monday
Patch ^ | Sept 26, 2018

BOSTON, MA — Sen. Jeff Flake is set to come to Boston after casting the key swing vote moving Judge Brett Kavanaugh through the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Arizona Republican will be in town for the Forbes Under 30 Summit, held Sept. 30 - Oct. 3.

Flake is scheduled to talk the future of the Republican party with Ohio Gov. John Kasich, according to an agenda on the Forbes site. He will join an eclectic group of speakers that also features Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving and founder of Her Campus Media Stephanie Kaplan Lewis, among others.

A headline and press release from Forbes mentioned Flake first among speakers.

Flake has been the target of frustration on social media following his Friday morning announcement that he would vote in favor of Kavanaugh, just one day after dramatic testimony from the Supreme Court Justice hopeful and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school.

Flake has ZERO chance period— to be even a contender. He is an absolute lying POS.

Remember Kasich had a speech scheduled the day after the Election, and he had to cancel it when Trump won?

He’s probably going to be french kissing Charlie Baker at some point; they’re both RINO rats.

Flake Statement on SCOTUS Nomination

Posted on Sep 28, 2018

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) today released the following statement:

“After hearing more than 30 hours of testimony from Judge Kavanaugh earlier this month, I was prepared to support his nomination based on his view of the law and his record as a judge. In fact, I commented at the time that had he been nominated in another era, he would have likely received 90+ votes.

When Dr. Ford’s allegations against Judge Kavanaugh surfaced two weeks ago, I insisted that she be allowed to testify before the committee moved to a vote. Yesterday, we heard compelling testimony from Dr. Ford, as well as a persuasive response from Judge Kavanaugh. I wish that I could express the confidence that some of my colleagues have conveyed about what either did or did not happen in the early 1980s, but I left the hearing yesterday with as much doubt as certainty.

What I do know is that our system of justice affords a presumption of innocence to the accused, absent corroborating evidence. That is what binds us to the rule of law. While some may argue that a different standard should apply regarding the Senate’s advice and consent responsibilities, I believe that the constitution’s provisions of fairness and due process apply here as well.

I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.”

The Republican party and indeed our entire republic would be dead by now if not for being saved by the election of President Donald Trump!!!

Without President Trump for another six-plus years and his MAGA agenda, we the people have no future!!!

These two morons need to STFU and get lives outside politics!!!

“... future of the Republican party with Ohio Gov. John Kasich”

Flake and Kasich? It looks like the convention organizers had an auto-correct problem, clearly their topic will be “the past of the Republican party.”
