White House: Jeff Flake’s Speech ‘Not Befitting of the Senate Floor’ - The Daily Beast
The Arizona Republican has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration and, as a result, a frequent target of the president’s Twitter rants. Faced with the prospect of far-right Republican primary challengers in next year’s Senate race, and troubling polling finding him behind declared candidate Kelli Ward, Flake decided that he would exit the Senate.
In the 20-minute speech, without ever mentioning Trump’s name, Flake pondered Washington’s future and what his Senate colleagues could tell their grandchildren about their time serving during a Trump administration—at times, openly questioning whether Congress could be proud of its complicity in the coarsening of U.S. politics.
