Flake: Obama and I stay in touch

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said on Saturday that he has kept in touch with former President Obama.

Flake told “The Axe Files” host David Axelrod that he still talks with Obama and that the former president called him recently to make sure he was alright, apparently after the senator gave an impassioned speech announcing he would not seek reelection.

During that speech, Flake heavily criticized President Trump and said he would “no longer be complicit or silent” while the president continues his “reckless, outrageous and undignified” behavior.

On Saturday, Flake complimented Obama for reaching out to him just before he left the White House.

"The last night he was in the White House, the day before inauguration he called just to say that he enjoyed working with me," Flake said. "And I certainly said the same. He didn't have to do that. It was very nice."

4. High school political maneuvering.

Obama more popular than Trump at any point in both their lives, and now Trump is starting to become utterly toxic and even un-American. Watch how many more Trump enablers start to hug Obama, W, and other past politicians who had any level of popularity and support. It's very much still The Sinking of the Titanic, and public support for Obama is already being perceived as a life raft with limited room.
