Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) gave a bridge burning speech on the Senate floor after news broke that he will not seek re-election in 2018. According to Daily Beast reporter Andrew Desiderio, every lawmaker who attended the speech, both Democrats and Republicans, stood and clapped for Flake — except Rand Paul.
The KY lawmaker didn’t see the virtue in trashing Trump as tax reform is on the table.
“All stood and clapped after Flake’s speech—except @RandPaul,” tweeted Desiderio.

Trump hater and RINO Jeff Flake trashed the Republican party and POTUS Trump on his way out the door!
Good riddance! We don’t need Democrat allies like Flake in the Senate.
