Jeff Flake: GOP Needs to 'Shun This Conspiratorial Fringe Element of the Party,' Including Trump
[BREITBART] Friday on CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
’s "At This Hour," former Sen. Jeff Dear God! Won't he ever shut up? Flake
...Former Republican junior senator from Arizona, elected in 2012. Prior to that he was a U.S. Representative for twelve years. There's a reason he's a former junior senator...
(R-AZ) urged the GOP to "shun" the "conspiratorial fringe element of the party" if it wants to win elections moving forward.

Flake, who has long been vocal about his disdain for former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
, emphasized that Republicans should break from Trump and his supporters like Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and instead turn to someone like former House Speaker Paul Ryan
...Former Speaker of the House, U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies...
"I do believe ... that most Republicans out there want to get back to a party that believes in ideas, the kind that Paul Ryan described. But that subset of a subset of Republican voters that vote in primaries in droves still, you know, when they talk about let’s move on away from this commission or away from all of this, what happened in the last election, we still have in Arizona a Republican Party doing a recount of the 2020 election," Flake outlined.

"So, too many Republicans don’t want to move on, and I would just ask people, I mean Republicans, do you want to be the party of Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene or one more of where Paul Ryan is? And the Paul Ryan kind of wing of the party is the one that can grow and actually be a majority party in the future," he added. "You know, the other party can win a few elections here or there, but we’ll lose over time. And Republicans, until we want to start winning elections, we’re going to have to, you know, shun this conspiratorial fringe element of the party. That’s all there is to it. And that includes the former president."

#2 Back at a time when civilized societies began
requiring surnames for families and individual people, the custom was to gain a consensus amongst the inhabitants as to what the name should be, a given occupation, overall attitude, expected achievement, and so forth.

Think about this a moment.

This entire article considers the pronouncements and intellectual musings of an individual named:

Jeff

Flake


Our ancestors were not wrong, flake.

#5 "shun" the "conspiratorial fringe element of the party"

Oh, really, Jeffy? Sure seems like this element is right often enough.
