Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) early Wednesday criticized President Trump for his mocking comments about Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, calling Trump's remarks at a rally "kind of appalling."

"There’s no time and no place for remarks like that," Flake said on NBC's "Today" when asked about Trump's comments late Tuesday in Mississipi.

Trump at rally: 'I had one beer.' Well do you think it was... 'Nope. It was one beer.' Oh good. How did you get home? 'I don't remember.' How did you get there? 'I don't remember.' Where is the place? 'I don't remember.' How many years ago was it? 'I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.' What neighborhood was it in? 'I don't know.' Where's the house? 'I don't know. Upstairs. Downstairs. I don't know. But I had one beer that's the only thing I remember.'

"And a man's life is in tatters," Trump said. "A man's life is shattered."

Flake’s comments about Trump are REALLY appalling (to me...). Flake is appropriately named.

[Simon Green]

He’s going to vote no.

[scottinoc]

Oh dear, poor Flaky. The truth is so hard for him to hear.

[shelterguy]

Is flake appalled that so many of his fellow democrats raised campaign funds from this shittshow?

[butlerweave]

Did the Dems tell Flake he’ll be a Hero ,LOL

[dartuser]

"There’s no time and no place for remarks like that the truth,"

[TigerClaws]

We don’t need Flake.

5-10 Dems will vote for Kavanaugh because they’re down in the polls and diving lower every day.

I’m beginning to think Flake is compromised. Note how Coons is attached to his hip, like a handler

As more is learned BECAUSE of this FBI 7th examination, more is learned. There is evidence she was coached for an extended period of time, by a retired FBI lawyer, and so much more. More that the public knows to be sure, but Trump is privy to that information. So, if he is changing his behavior toward Ms Ford, you can be sure its for good reason...

Sit back and watch a master at work...I am so glad I support Trump...continuing to MAGA.

Veteran GOP operative Bill Kristol is building a political war machine and seeking a Republican candidate to take on President Donald Trump in 2020

Bill Kristol, one of President Trump’s most vocal opponents, is creating a political war machine to take on the commander in chief in 2020.

Kristol says his nonprofit organization Defending Democracy Together is seeking a GOP candidate to run against Trump.

He’s engaged with three potential Republican primary candidates who are outspoken critics of the president: Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, outgoing Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

I also think he’ll vote no. There are no words for this puke.

[EagleUSA]

“...He’s going to vote no....”

Most likely. His hate for Trump is everywhere. He is a lying scumbag and will welsh on his deal. Just watch. POS.

[shelterguy]

The longer this stays front and center, the more gets exposed as what a coordinated effort this is. And the more gets exposed about what a liar the slut Ford is.

I say let it roll for a week or two.

[Zenjitsuman]

Coons is Flakes new McCain. I think we get by with 50 votes
because like McCain on Obamacare Flake is a no vote because he wants to stick it to the country because the only thing wrong with Judge Brett Kav is he is DJT’s choice.

If Kav goes down I hope the people of Arizona make Flake regret his traitorous behavior.

[Prolixus]

Flake thinks the truth is appalling. He’s definitely a Clintonista.

[Cecily]

Yes, Flakey, keep defending the liar Ford as more of her lies are exposed daily. Good plan.

What a weak fool he is.

[TigerClaws]

I agree.

Trump should call Kavanaugh. Explain the perjury that’s being uncovered for Ford and Swetnick.

They haven’t interviewed Ford yet because... they’ll have to read her her rights prior to the interview!

Democrats are tanking in the polls and this is THE ONLY ISSUE right now for Republicans to handle.

Don’t let the Dems pivot to Russia, tax returns, God knows what. Just stay right here and watch them squirm.

No, he just thinks he'll be welcomed into the cool kids club of liberal Democrats and their liberal mouthpieces in the media when this is all over.

He won't. Even they know he's a coward and a traitor and nobody likes him. His usefulness to their cause is just about complete.

Soon he will have no friends.
