This Republican deserve respect for this but scorn for something else

[egbertowillies]

It is easy to have courage when one no longer has to answer to a sect within one's party that has lost all sense of morality and decency. Republican Jeff Flake's symbolic act required little coverage but may convince a few Republicans to stop for a second to see if their moral compass will reset and not vote a pedophile into office.

1. If he had a spine, he would have stood up in that press spray and walked out...

...I'm sure he's trying to respect the office of the president but why, given the daily disrespect it gets from Trump.

If he really wanted to actually make a statement (vs. that pin-money check he sent to Jones), that's the way to do it. Stand up, F2F and say "I can't do this...I can't listen to you reveal in the possibility of a pedophile getting elected...this isn't about politics...it's about morality".

that's what a republican with a spine would do. But they're as rare as pigs with wings so I'm not waiting.

2. Thank you for the laugh

You said Republican and credit in the same sentence. Hahaha.

Flake is anything but Brave and deserves credit for nothing.

3. I have made bigger political donations then Flake.

I have significantly less $ then him. He put a teeny weeny poke in republican hypocrisy.
