FULL TITLE: Ouch! Jeff Flake makes two embarrassing errors on his way out. One was announcing his farewell on Twitter

Sen. Jeff Flake made his share of mistakes since taking office, chief among them being to underestimate the intelligence of the average Republican voter, so it’s only fitting that the lawmaker makes two embarrassing errors on his way out the door.

The first and perhaps most brutal error was for the moderate Trump-hating Arizona Republican to announce his farewell on Twitter.

“Full of gratitude today as I deliver my farewell address in the Senate Chamber at 11:00 EST,” Flake advertised.

@JeffFlake Full of gratitude today as I deliver my farewell address in the Senate Chamber at 11:00 EST

The second mistake was to try to suck up to the liberals at “The Daily Show,” who tweeted a photo of one of their correspondents watching Flake’s farewell speech on the Senate floor while cozily wrapped in a blanket emblazoned with tweets from the outgoing senator.

“No better way to enjoy @JeffFlake’s farewell address than in the warm embrace of his meaningless tweets,” the show’s official account tweeted.

Flake thought it would be cute to respond: “Hey @TheDailyShow, how can I get one of those blankets?”

What made Kavanaugh a solid pick was that the Democrats pissed off two different factions — the MAGA/Trump faction and the GOP establishment — by opposing him. Those two factions didn’t agree on much of anything before October 2018.

Manchin would not have allowed himself to be the 50th vote for Kavanaugh.

While conservatives brushed Flake off for failing to support Trump, the left swiped at him for not going far enough in opposing the president

Don't mess with Mr. In Between.

Who are and how do “these people that fill our elected offices?

“It will not be the wise and moderate; the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your Government and be your rulers.”
