WATCH: Jeff Flake JOKES about the "elevator" stunt while speaking at a progressive "Global Citizen Event" with Democrat Chris Coons.
We got played.
Who Was behind the Flake Set-Up?
. . . "A CNN camera broadcast the event live, and from there it went viral." . . .
We can only guess whom the girl on the phone is talking with.
. . . "The New Yorker reported that, after the incident, Flake “looked more withdrawn than ever, eyes wet, voice a little frayed, chin tucked down in the somber knot of his tie.” Shortly afterward, Flake voted to refer Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate but with a sudden proviso: He wouldn’t vote for the judge on the floor unless the vote was delayed to do an FBI investigation, “limited in time to no more than one week,” into “current allegations that are already there.” Democrats rejoiced.A reporter for the Washington Examiner asked Flake, “Did the women who confronted you this morning, did they have any role in changing your mind?”“No, no,” Flake said as he shook his head.Fair enough, but liberals certainly have convinced themselves to believe that the in-your-face strategy worked. So no doubt we’ll see more of it in these uncivil times. As an example, liberal journalist Ana Marie Cox tweeted out video of the Flake incident, praising the success of the confrontation: . . .Update: Jeff Flake: I Never Would Have Delayed A Week If Running For Re-Election
"Republican Sen. Jeff Flake admitted on Sunday that had he been running for re-election in Arizona, requesting the FBI to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against Judge Brett Kavanaugh would have made him unelectable to the Senate.
"The Arizona senator voted “yes” to advance Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and into the full Senate on Friday with the condition that an FBI probe would briefly investigate Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of sexual abuse against the judge.
"Flake notably announced that he would not be running for re-election in October 2017. CBS News’ Scott Pelley asked Flake if he had been seeking to hold his Senate seat, would he have been able to demand an investigation.
“ 'No,” Flake responded on “60 Minutes.” “Not a chance.”
“ 'There’s no value to reaching across the aisle,” Flake continued. “There’s no currency for that anymore. There’s no incentive.' ” . . .
What Is It With Arizona Senators? "Yes, one half of the Judicial Committee have been acting like triggered sorority girls for the entire hearing. They’re falling apart – rightfully so, with the loathsome ways they’ve behaved." . . .
