Jeff Flake says Trump is 'completely out of touch' with Americans.

'Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) suggested Friday that a Republican migration away from President Trump is underway as a result of Trump not understanding voters or their needs.

“The president may not want to talk about the affordability crisis, but he’s going to have to,” Flake said in an interview with CNN host Erin Burnett. “The notion that prices are down everywhere. They really aren’t, and people know that.”

“The Republican Party and the president seem completely out of touch with where the economy is, particularly the effect of tariffs,” he told the “OutFront” host, as highlighted by Mediaite. “Tariffs are inflationary. That is a Republican article of faith.”

The former lawmaker added, “And you’ll see a lot of Republicans starting to migrate back to the new, old ground, where we used to reside.”' . . He added, “I believe that a migration has begun within the Republican Party.” https://www.aol.com/news/jeff-flake-says-trump-completely-165846755.html

Jeff, like so many other GOP asshats, only seems to have found his spine and conscience after retiring.

Most Rethugs see what happened to Liz Cheney's political career, and would rather kiss the Orange Anus than incur his wrath and crazy MAGAts with guns.
