Republican Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) was caught on a hot mic Saturday warning that the Republican Party will be "toast" if it becomes the party of President Trump and Roy Moore.

At a tax reform event in Arizona Saturday, Flake was caught on a live microphone by ABC affiliate KNXV bashing the president in a conversation with Mesa Mayor John Giles, a personal friend of Flake's.

"If we become the party of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we are toast," Flake is overheard saying.

Moore, a GOP candidate for the Senate in Alabama, has vowed to stay in the race despite mounting allegations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls. Giles, a moderate Republican who has been mayor of Mesa since 2014, is also heard on the hot mic recording making comments appearing to encourage Flake to mount a primary challenge against Trump in 2020.

1. Too late Flake

Your party IS the party of Moore and Drumpf and Nunes and Lee and Gowdy and Farenthold and all manner of other swamp creatures and scum.

4. Don't forget the pennicle of sanity, Gohmert. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

5. YES!

And Marsha Blackburn and loon extraordinaire Steve King.

16. Yep, soul has long ago been sold

And that ship has sailed, etc., etc...

[SergeStorms]

22. And don't forget the Russians favorite legislator......

Dana Rohrabacher. He's never taken money from the Russians that didn't pay off handsomely for them in the end. He's 70 years old, and it's time for Comrade Dana to retire to his Dacha in Russia.

23. +1

2. The Republican Party IS the party of Trump and Moore.

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. The party of Grasping Old Pedophiles

They have more Perverts than the Catholic Church.

[MFM008]

3. He wanted it out there

No "hot" mic.

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Going to agree with you on this.

Jeff Flake loves to play the passive aggressive game. Just speak loud enough so someone who he recognizes will repeat it.

[Libloom]

6. Ive been hearing this forever

But really, the worse they get, they stronger they are.

[not fooled]

19. Yes. I think it's because

the loonier they get, the more they become unprincipled and willing to do anything for power and $$$.

[marble falls]

7. He's right of course but what I really know is until he was against Trump in the last 6 months ....

he was really, really really for him. And he's voted to kill the ACA and he supports the Senate tax "reform".

[7962]

10. he probably thought that trump would become presidential at some point.

I know a few people who voted for him that thought so. every campaign is a rough and tumble exchange, then after its over the winner becomes humble and tries to mend fences
Trump just continues to burn the fences, bridges, grain, etc.

[marble falls]

11. Remember when folks said the Ivanka and Jared would be able to moderate the Orange Disgrace?

[7962]

14. Yes. I thought she may be the only one he would ever listen to. Wrong so far! nt

[marble falls]

17. To my extreme embarressment I thought she might actually have potential as a future leader ....

after all Jared actually had supported Democratic candidates prior to working for the Tangerine Nightmare. Don't tell anyone else. My wife still teases me over me saying it out loud.

Maybe Tiffany is the one???

[not fooled]

20. I have a feeling

that subsequent generations will still be waiting for a member of that clan who is anything other than a conniving grifter. They have been rolling in filth ever since the grandfather dodged the draft in Germany by coming to the U.S. and running brothels.

[marble falls]

25. When grandpa tried going back to Germany, he wasn't allowed back by the Germans! They knew ...

that bloodline was trouble.

[not fooled]

28. Their gain our loss

Particularly ironic given how dump likes to brag about his "good genes."

[marble falls]

29. He meant good jeans. He especially likes the fit of Confefe jeans.

[7962]

24. Oh, I felt the same way. The wrong trump was running! nt

[riversedge]

12. Any Flake is spot on except it is already happening. Adding Moore just adds to the stinking GOP

sewer.

[YOHABLO]

13. What is Flake's real motivation? Perhaps a run for the Presidency?

[xxqqqzme]

15. Sounds like it.

There are no accidents in politics, somebody said once.

[not fooled]

21. Hold on there, Jeff

Everyone knows that Mittens will be the first mormon president. Or so he thinks, as shown by his apparent plans to run for Orrin "I'm not a shill for the rich" Hatch's seat once that corporate lackey gets out of Dodge.

[Cryptoad]

18. Hate to be the one to break it to Sen Flake,,,,

ur party is already toast,,,,,,,,,

[Deb]

26. Thats one way to feed the hungry

[Freethinker65]

27. IF?????? They already are
