quote:
On democracy: "Without truth, and a principled fidelity to truth and to shared facts, Mr. President, our democracy will not last."

Mr Flake, Media being truthful matters. When they refuse to print the truth and are determined to end a presidency, they need to be called out and the market decide.

quote:
On Josef Stalin: "It is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by Josef Stalin to describe his enemies."

I don't recall your speech on Obama's beliefs and actions that are in line with Mr. Stalin. The fact is, you are jealous SOB and the people who pay you lost confidence in you, but love the President.

quote:
On fake news: "When a figure in power reflexively calls any press that doesn’t suit him 'fake news,' it is that person who should be the figure of suspicion, not the press."

That's wrong on several levels Mr Flake. First, Fox News people disagree with Trump a lot. Trump does not call them fake news. It's disagreement. Second, calling news agencies that constantly fail to report the news and always twist things in an attempt to overthrow a duly elected president is suspicious.

quote:
On foreign correspondents: "I dare say that anyone who has the privilege and awesome responsibility to serve in this chamber knows that these reflexive slurs of “fake news” are dubious, at best. Those of us who travel overseas, especially to war zones and other troubled areas around the globe, encounter members of US-based media who risk their lives, and sometimes lose their lives, reporting on the truth. To dismiss their work as fake news is an affront to their commitment and their sacrifice."

Mr Flake... Trump has not done that. Why are you now lying?

No wonder you have no support at home.

quote:
On Congress' role as a check on the presidency: "An American president who cannot take criticism – who must constantly deflect and distort and distract – who must find someone else to blame -- is charting a very dangerous path. And a Congress that fails to act as a check on the president adds to the danger."

Translate... "I disagreed with Trump and he called me out out on the truth.... people at home now don't like me."

quote:
On politicians: "Of course, a major difference between politicians and the free press is that the press usually corrects itself when it gets something wrong. Politicians don’t."

Not with this president ... they do not.

quote:
On the Russia investigation: "To be very clear, to call the Russia matter a “hoax” – as the president has many times – is a falsehood ... What might seem like a casual and routine untruth – so casual and routine that it has by now become the white noise of Washington - is in fact a serious lapse in the defense of our country."

1- where were you during the Obama admin? Never saw this from you.

2- It is a hoax. Here we have a failure to comprehend. Trump did not say that Russia did not try and does not try. He said his collusion with Russia is a hoax.

This is why people don't like you. You are too stupid to understand the difference OR you are bent on wanting him out due to your globalist masters and agenda.

And last per CNN:

quote:
On inspiring dictators: "Not only has the past year seen an American president borrow despotic language to refer to the free press, but it seems he has in turn inspired dictators and authoritarians with his own language. This is reprehensible."

What a damn joke you are.
