Flake Speech To Nearly Empty Senate: Trump = Stalin

[GURPS]

Jeff Flake compares Trump's attacks on 'Fake News' media to STALIN in blistering speech to nearly empty Senate chamber as White House says he's 'looking for attention'

• Senator Jeff Flake delivered a scathing anti-Trump speech Wednesday
• He compared the president to Soviet despot Joseph Stalin for calling five news outlets 'the enemy of the American people'
• Flake slammed Trump for using 'words infamously spoken by Joseph Stalin to describe his enemies'
• The Republican announced in October he would no longer run for re-election under the Trump administration
• Only two fellow senators, both Democrats, attended Wednesday's speech
• White House fired back saying Flake 'has terrible poll numbers' and is 'looking for some attention'
• Press secretary noted that while Flake complained about despots, he defended Cuba's government this month over 'sonic weapon' attacks on U.S. diplomats

Only two senators, Democrats Dick Durbin of Illinois and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, attended the 15-minute speech that was highly anticipated by reporters and editors.

But Flake let his disdain for the Trump White House show, saying that 'the free press is the despot's enemy, which makes the free press the guardian of democracy.'

In general, when senators give speeches on the floor, their colleagues aren't around, and the two or three who might be present aren't listening. ..
Flake knows this, but he went into his rant for his own satisfaction.
Making a fool of himself is one reason he won't be returning.

He is well named for he is a Flake.
