Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) ripped White House National Trade Council director Peter Navarro on Sunday for comments he had made earlier lashing out at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying the remarks cannot be representative of the Republican Party.
"Fellow Republicans, this is not who we are. This cannot be our party," Flake said in a tweet.
Flake was responding to comments made by Navarro earlier on Sunday, in which he slammed Trudeau's remarks on trade, saying there was a "special place in hell" for any leader who engages in "bad faith diplomacy" with President Trump.
"Theres a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door," Navarro told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

I'm in my late 70s and I have learned over the years that most people are a mix of their bad and good deeds in life. While I can say a few good things about McCain, I truly do not have one good thing to say about Trump. He is utterly devoid of any virtue AT ALL.
dhol82
(9,353 posts)Trump has absolutely no redeeming features.
However, McCain, despite the few good things he has done, still rankles.
Just remember, he picked Sarah Palin for VP. Will never give him a break for that one.

(63,926 posts)place. Did a few see what was coming down the tracks with Trump? Did any speak up?
Perhaps when the pukes either ruin this country or (hopefully) just ruin their party as they know it, some will rue the day. As for the voters of Trump, they can go to hell for all I care.

(6,560 posts)I lost all respect for him during his presidential run, and then there was the lady at one of campaign meetings in Minnesota that expressed her views on Obama. He immediately walked over to her and set her straight on facts. I respected that and there were other things after that showed his heart was no longer in the election.

(9,353 posts)Sadly, it did not show up much after that.
I will not excuse his partisan peccadillos because he is about to die.
He has to live until that time with what he has done.
CTyankee
(63,926 posts)and set her straight that Obama was not a Muslim. I hope he knew then the extent to which his party was going to shitsville...

(1,474 posts)Previously they said they must reach out to Hispanics. They have clearly lost Hispanics. African Americans despise the GOP policies. If the GOP calls out trump, they lose their only major voting block. Without racists, bigots, and misogynists who are left that will vote republican? The rich control the party, but they are a small voting block. This is not new to the GOP, they have been heading down this path since the Southern Strategy began after civil rights were enacted during the Johnson administration.

(870 posts)We simply have to watch out for any left overs who learn to the right in our party, to ensure the Democratic Party stays full focused on Humanity Regard, Diplomacy Concerns, Civil Equality, and Economic Equilibrium among the American People.
Republican as we know, are as like Confederates in every way, they are the party driven by the wealthy, and would gladly turn the mass of society into Indentured Servants and Apprentices, for the sake of their own want of dominance and self enrichment at the expense of the people.

(3,284 posts)they would switch parties and give control to the Dems. The fact they don't shows they are not serious.
Stuart G
(38,458 posts)Yes, McCain and Flake could switch..It would change the rule in the Senate. This could happen in the next week. old guy ...you could be the "prophet." This statement by Flake might be the hint. They could switch to Independents, and caucus with the Democrats... Trump and his crowd obviously don't give a damn.
... This statement by an Peter Navarro could cause this to happen. Or, perhaps Navarro could be forced to resign because of the statement. We will see. I guess it is likely that nothing will happen. BUT.............

Instead, you used the "Republican motto, PROFIT!"
Just sayin'.............................
Stuart G
(38,458 posts)Oh my!...my spelling problem has returned, even got the words mixed up ."profit" is not "prophet"
..........sorry to everyone....Correction has been made..yes, kinda late, but, that has been changed......

Navarro is really being presumptuous, and any chief executive or president who witnessed such and had any balls would fire him before sundown.
Of course Trump is just a prig needing protection of people who think like him.

(870 posts)This lets us know... the vile history of the party and the ongoing detestable mentally they have about American people, where they play the poor and uneducated by the well to do who embrace the Evangelical programming, which gives refuge to the hate groups and the bigots of every sort, while it misleads the poor to be their foot solder's, while their acts undermined the poor while it enriches the well to do.
Greed Mentally is the basis of their Ideals.... and Racist and Class Divisiveness is within their Agenda.
Everyone of them that claimed "Never Trump" have become Trump Loyalist!! as if they have fallen under the spell to promote even more of the evil that has resided within them.
Look across any state that has republican influence State Governance, and you find them trying all they can, to cut programs for young kids, senior citizens and any type of service that helps the people sustain themselves.
100's of yrs of $$TRILLIONS upon TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, have flowed only into the hands of the wealthy, which is an American Atrocity.

By now we have flown so far and fast off the cliff that I am not sure we will even recognize it when we go splat. Some people think there is no bottom -- that we are simply in sickening free-fall forever.

Oh, your fellow Republicans are the indeed the worst reeking vermin in our country, make no mistake.
They practice treason hourly just to line their mortal pockets and rip to shreds the lives of the humanity unfortunate enough to exist under their puking agenda.
But you did and said nothing before you announced you were leaving Brigadoon. You didnt have the spine.
Talk is cheap,Pal.
And so are you.
