Flake Avoids Reporters After Casting Pro-Kavanaugh Vote

After casting his vote Friday to advance the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) was descending a staircase in the Capitol when he saw reporters gathered at the bottom poised to bombard him with questions.

Flake, who had been one of the three GOP undecided senators heading into the vote,  was on the phone, smiled, and quickly turned around and went back up the stairs.

  1. I was thinking of buying The Conscience of a Conservative.

    But then I thought, its author admitted that he would not have requested a “professional non partisan FBI investigation” if he had to run for reelection.

    And that his “conscience” allowed him to find the bullshit FBI investigation stage managed by Donald Trump, Grassey and Hatch to be “thorough and persuasive.” And vote “Yes.”
    So, I dont think I need to read a long, self serving bullshit book about his “conscience.”

    Though I guess its not as ridiculous as a Yale Grad telling his Nebraska constituents he was cool to vote yes because he “did 150 hours of homework.” What a fucking weenie he must have been. At Yale.

    You know what I see, Flake? I see your run for the presidency running far away over the hills and gone. You vote for Kavanaugh and you are finito.

    He’s always been well-know for his heroic exploits.
