Joe Arpaio On Flake: 'Only Wants To Embarrass Trump'

  Known as "America's Toughest Sheriff," Joe Arpaio wrote an op-ed for the Western Journal. Arpaio said Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake "Only Wants To Embarrass Donald Trump." Arpaio wrote, "When does 'yes' really mean 'no'? I found myself asking that question Friday while watching the Senate Judiciary Committee vote on whether to recommend the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court."

  Arpaio continued, "I will readily admit that I was as surprised as anyone when Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake committed Friday morning to support Kavanaugh’s nomination. Flake has made no secret about his disdain for the current presidential administration and many were heartened to learn of his decision to stand with Trump’s nominee. But it’s his disdain that left me wondering: When does 'yes' really mean “no”?

  "But what did he qualify his vote with? He demanded the FBI investigate a decades-old allegation against Kavanaugh — an investigation that Democrats are already pushing to extend as long as possible.Flake tried to paint this as something that would “bring people together,” claiming the investigation would take no longer than a week, "Arpaio wrote.

  "Anyone who knows anything about government bureaucracy knows that an FBI investigation will take longer than a week. But let’s say it doesn’t. Let’s assume that the FBI will take exactly one week to finish the investigation. No matter what happens in a week, Flake will get what he wants, "Arpaio wrote.
