        Alright. Come on. He fundamentally disagrees with liberal politics. He is the only Republican Congressmen to come out and put his money where his mouth is fighting against Moore being in the Senate. Stop roasting him for that. Roast him for policies but this isn’t meaningless...

        And roast the other bitches in Congress who aren’t doing anything or even worse endorsing and financially supporting him. This absolutism is getting insufferable

        Tell you what. Many of us would have paid you $100 to not have voted for the tax bill. Next time ask us. We already know what you are. The only thing to determine is the price.

        Republicans love tax cuts and Christian values. Here, Flake makes sense in taking a stand. I'd never thought we'd have to discuss stopping a pedophile from entering Congress and representing the people. May it shame some GOP w/m into remembering what they (supposedly) stand for.

        Many of your constituents would like you to wipe that smile off your face. Your words and $100 ploy fall on deaf ears. A man w integrity doesn’t raise taxes on the 99% to benefit the 1%. #GOPtaxscam @JeffFlakepic.twitter.com/QmcGzrq1zR

        I was upset too, but I think there’s some grey area here. Senator @JeffFlake, Senator @lisamurkowski, @SenJohnMcCain, Senator @SenBobCorker, and @SenatorCollins deserve respect for the efforts they’ve made to steer the Republican Party back toward the center. Stay tuned.

        One is not mutually exclusive of another. I’m a liberal and despise the tax bill. I’m a human and despise pedophiles. He stood his ground as a human
