Senator Jeff Flake (R/AZ)
5/23/18
Sen. Jeff Flake abandoned subtlety in his latest rhetorical broadside at President Donald Trump on Wednesday, telling Harvard Law School's newest graduates the nation's leader "seemingly has a bottomless appetite for destruction and division." "Our presidency has been debased. By a figure who seemingly has a bottomless appetite for destruction and division. And only a passing familiarity with how the Constitution works," Flake said at the event ahead of graduation in Cambridge, Mass. He later continued, "We need each other, and it is a scoundrel who would prosper politically by turning us against each other." As always, Flake did not mention Trump by name, but left little doubt about the target of his criticism. "There are times when circumstances may call on you to risk your career in favor of your principles," Flake said. "But you, and your country, will be better for it. You can go elsewhere for a job, but you cannot go elsewhere for a soul."
