I am sorry that your family has to go through this, but in the end, this is the best for trying to bring the country together.

This is a picture of how a drunken Kavanaugh would look mean and angry. The Supreme Court will be made dirty if he is elected. Dr. Ford testimony was 100% believable & she said it was 100% Kavanaugh who lay on top of her & tried to rape her. She should know. Armchair Reporter

JeffFlake senator, I hope to god that if this was ever a close family member to you who was assaulted, that those after you never handle this so cheaply as you & your party who for 2+years now have put party & corruption over people. Objective investigation IS warranted!

when you use a photo like this it clearly shows your bias

JeffFlake you act like you are the face of a new Republican Party one that represents more of the youth today. You are not, you are old and set in your ways like the rest. I look forward to you running for president so I can watch you lose the majority of women’s votes.

Post you are no longer relevant and this is old news

Look at that face and tell me he is not guilty

Good

SHAME ON YOU , in front of the entire world, you side with this individual ? You are a disgrace for America, JeffFlake just like LindseyGrahamSC ChuckGrassley JohnCornyn and al MISOGYNISTS in the GOP. SHAME on all of you, What example do you give to the world? CRAP

WINNING

Much easier. Now. For them to fall in line. Don't look to Washington for a profile in courage.

JeffFlake Shame on you as a husband, father, human being. This decision tells millions of women that our experiences do not matter. SHAME

Wow. Flake flakes out, once again. Hopes of decent Americans are dashed, once again. I think I've been here before. Is it Feb 2nd again? BillMurray is this your doing?

As they all should.

Tuck6191 Oh come on WAPO can you pick a worse picture?

Completely gross. Can't pretend to rail against the party of trump anymore. Can't even do the right thing when he doesn't have an election depending on it.

Good

Interesting, and completely unprofessional, photo choice, WaPo. FakeNews CompletelyBiased

It has been done.

What was he promised

I wonder how much pressure was put on him

PatMann1 Alleluia

This face says "cross me & me & my beer will come after you & not rape you but kill you for even thinking you can stop me". I'm certainly convinced he would do it too.

SenJeffFlake has no honor or morals. He just does what his part tells him to.

Look at this man face. He has an ugly demeanor, disposition, attitude, unhinged, nasty, and not deserving of this position.

Aside the accusations... His responses yesterday just goes to show how Unfit he is to serve on the SCOTUS... He is clearly Politically biased, and will always hold a grudge against the Democrats...

JeffFlake. As I sit here with my beautiful 2-year old granddaughter, I am sickened and ashamed by what you are about to do.

JeffFlake: A Profile in Cowardice.

journalismisdead

Propaganda Post!!! FFFFFFFFF

Thank God that reasonable people are behaving reasonably. This has been a disgusting hit job by Democrats with no ethics or moral compass. Booker -self admitted sexual assaulter Blumenthal - said you lie in one thing we assume you lie in all. He LIED about serving in Vietnam.

When the book is written about this moment in time in the 21st century, Kavanaugh Journalism will replace the shame of Yellow Journalism from the 20th century. And this will be one of hundreds of examples. ShameOnYou

Flake is done.

JeffFlake you will go down in history as exactly what your name depicts: a flake. So bold on twitter. Taking moral high ground. Then voting against every time. You truly are a disgrace

Again showing who and what he really is. Just pathetic

🔥🔥

Your Liberal bias is OVERFLOWING . This photo of BrettKavanaugh could not be much worse. At least you're being consistent. Don't worry - we'll win bigly in November. RedWave

That is unconscionable given the ABA's, Jesuit order's etc. recommendation to stop the vote and investigate. So, the GOP gets to live with this if he is confirmed by the full Senate.

Ur picture is disgusting and continued character assassination. I'm a survivor & I support Kavanaugh KavanaughHearings ConfirmKavanaughNow

Republicans created a debacle injuring many people. All was done to push a confirmation ... deceit, hidden documents, lazy vetting, no debate, no FBI investigation. A candidate with skeletons in his closet. A power grab at a cost to women! Irresponsible!

Who does Flake ever think will vote for him for President .. he is completely useless to women, POC, and the LGTBQ community … Women we will have to smarter going forward to keep our rights and our daughters' rights.

Well, that's totally NOT a surprise...

Like most Americans he saw this for what it was..another high tech lynching. ConfirmKavanagh

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake says he will vote for Brett KavanaughThe Republican who's considered a swing vote on the Senate Judiciary Committee said Friday he's voting in support of Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. The decision by the outgoing senator from Arizona comes a day after Kavanaugh testified before the committee, as did Christine Blasey Coward. Of course JeffFlake should just slither away. Stop acting like you’re a reasonable voice of the GOP when it fact you’re just as corrupt as your friends!

Sen. Jeff Flake Emerges as Key Vote in Kavanaugh NominationArizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, a White House antagonist, may provide the first indicator of the impact of Thursday’s hearing on the fate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh when the Senate Judiciary Committee votes. JeffFlake Me waiting for JeffFlake to back up all that never Trump talking he does Here's an idea for consideration - anyone who goes on record as retiring at the end of a term should be required to relinquish cmte seat(s) in the last year of that term. The idea that a lame duck like Flake (regardless of his position on things) hold so much power is nuts.

Kavanaugh confirmation: The latest developments on charges by Supreme Court nominee's accuserThe confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was contentious, but still, the federal judge was expected to be confirmed by the Senate – until a psychology professor came forward to publicly accuse him of sexual assault. IngrahamAngle TuckerCarlson POTUS ChuckGrassley LouDobbs seanhannity BreitbartNews YA,THINK if a person got raped at one party they sure the hell wouldn't be attending another party! so why did this Julie Swetnick attend all these parties! DEMS are LOSING THIS ONE! It is time to get the next vacancy vetted and this time it need to be an ultra conservative woman. One that is young, will be on the court for decades and that they cannot play games like this on. Let there be a price for treating a constitutional judge like this. Here's what I think of this new allegation I think that when the Democrats ask Kavanaugh to withdraw his nomination it was a warning that things will get worse if you don't leave now it's all bullshit especially from that lawyer and all happen before he turn 18 when the FBI stopd

Kavanaugh confirmation: The latest developments on charges by Supreme Court nominee's accuserThe confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was contentious, but still, the federal judge was expected to be confirmed by the Senate – until a psychology professor came forward to publicly accuse him of sexual assault. Someone should replay to ol chuck his statement that they would do anything to stop this nomination. This was stated several days after nomination announcement. Avenatti also probably just f-ed dems. Why are you falsely crying rape.. with no evidence and no police report filed following the rape or should I say "rape" IMO: Judge Kavanaugh has more credibility (& honesty & integrity) in his little finger than the entire Democratic side of the aisle together. Dr. Ford's claims lack credibility; just carefully review the timeline. senchuckschumer
