NEWS: Former Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) has endorsed Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for re-election Flake: “I’m still a conservative Republican. But character matters. And I want someone in that seat who takes the institution seriously and will protect the institution.”

Most Mormons hate MAGA with a passion. Jeff Flake is definitely trying something snakey, but in his case it's not shivving Democrats so much as it's setting himself up as a potential Never Trump Republican presidential candidate for 2028.

When a Republican endorses a Democrat citing “character,” it’s like a legacy system finally getting a security patch. Rare, overdue, and you just hope it’s not too late.

Jeff Flake is hardly qualified to measure a man's character. He ran like a mongrel pup when things started to turn to shit. Wrote a a tweet about it and disappeared into the sunset. Let's just say that he couldn't endorse another GOP moron for Senate. That's not a hard decision to make.

Okay, but fuck you Jeff Flake for pretending that your exit from the Senate when faced with a felon and rapist as your party's leader ran over the rule of law was heroic. He bailed. NOW he says he is still a conservative? Coward starts with the same two letters & is a much more accurate description.

I dunno if I feel bad for them. They made choices & if they say everyone is responsible for their decisions, then so are they. I also know these kind of women. They don’t seem to mind marrying ppl like date r*pists and such. Watched it in real time of quite a few of their type’s wedding invitations…

Stop aligning yourself with the Republican party, Flake. Be a conservative all you want, but you have no party. You and Kasich keep demanding that a Republican is what you want it to be, but that doesn't work anymore. The brand is dead.

While I'm glad that more conservatives are seeing the difference between dignity and blind obedience, I wish the ones who are actively sitting in Congress would speak up.

I can hear him slurring now.... "Oh the Flake. Flakey-flake is what I call him. I make up names. Oh the Flakey-flake. A lot of people say he....you know...you...flake is a weird word. Oh they like to say weird, don't they? Don't they? Fake news. Flakey-flake."

Character doesn't matter for the REPUBLICANS, they voted in Trump, they voted in Pete Hegseth, they voted in RFK Jr, they voted in Bessent & Lutnick, they voted in Bondi & Noem. Character does matter to Americans, which is why we will use the ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE WAVE, to flush away the RED STAIN!

And who is his endorsement supposed to influence? The intersection of people who can still be persuaded of anything with people who know who Jeff Flake is (and care about his opinion) with people registered to vote in GA is likely 0…

I live in Arizona now, have for 12 years. I wasn't here when former Senator Jeff Flake represented #Arizona in Congress. A conservative with proven integrity and ethics is someone I will listen to.

Why is Flake endorsing a Georgia Senator rather than working hard to get MAGA Republicans out of Arizona offices? When you right the wrongs of what you have done, then you deserve the credit. Not just safely endorsing someone that doesn't cost you anything. Do better, Flake!

Please re explain what a conservative Republican means bc I'm not seeing any of what I believe that to be in this administration. Kudos to endorsing Ossoff. He seems like he really understands the hardships impacting so many today. Time will tell...

When Jeff Flake was in the Senate, he worked *across the aisle* with Democrats. He was good friends with Senator Chris Coons ,who is a democrat, and who is still in office. Jeff Flake left the Senate in Trump’s first term, because he saw”the writing on the wall”. He is a * John McCain* Republican.

Well he's more of a traditional money hungry I don't wanna pay taxes republican as opposed to the bat shit culture warrior nut jobs we have now. You can at least work with someone who's just greedy

Um, Flake is a _former_ senator, so he won't be voting for anyone, and the chances of Ossoff voting for Blanche are zero/zip/nada, so I don't know who you're talking to.

If we have learned anything from the Trump catastrophe and collapse of Republican morals, it’s that character is what matters above all else. Without that, no safeguards can protect us.

OK Thanks for stating the obvious Jeff. Ossoff. However, you are certainly aptly named. By the way, there are no conservative Republicans. The GOP is in a narcissist's monster cult, subservient to a moronic bully. There is no legitimate argument to align with the cult.

I’ll endorse Ossoff also! He actually cares and doesn’t have any trouble telling it like it is! His opponent makes Trump look like a normal person, and we know that’s not true! Vote Democratic!

That's incredible. But I would have expected more of that back when I thought Republicans had integrity. I now realize that 90% of Republicans have zero for integrity.

Back-in-the-day I (F/16) asked a question of my US History teacher who was also my Civics teacher. He publicly shamed, ridiculed & mocked me for asking if a representative from a different party would ever endorsed someone outside of their party. And yet...Here we are. Also Fuck you Mr. Turner.

Flake says “character matters” but we all remember how he “cried” during the senate confirmation hearing when those mean women accused Kavanaugh of serious sexual improprieties hurt his most tender feelings. Fuck Flake… Ossoff does not need his endorsement.

I don’t think the ‘institution’ is the important thing. The Constitution, the rule of law and the citizens of this country are what is important. But anyone supporting the right things is good. Not in any way making him a hero though!

1. GET REGISTERED AND VOTE 2. START LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT we need to get out there and start looking someone, they have the money, but we have the people who can get out there and spread the word, we have to start NOW so everyone knows who to vote for when the time comes

Bullshit. He had the chance to sink kavanaugh. He can talk all high now, but when he had the actual chance to do the moral thing, he caved.

Former Arizona Sen Flake famously partnered with the late Sen McCain in Dec 2014 to attach a last-minute legislative rider to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This rider authorized the controversial land exchange that traded federal Apache sacred land at Oak Flat to Resolution Copper.

They're coming "home" to roost. Every single R he had voted out, smeared, attacked, doxxed or bullied will be seeking revenge. "Character matters" is the best reason to hop the line. Rs have none.
