Climate Denial Crock of the Week

Doing a brief speaking tour in Philadelphia area.  In the meantime, remember the Dark Snow fundraiser still ongoing.

Senator Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican, speaking in New Hampshire (stick a pin in that) March 2018.

CNN:

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, delivered a series of verbal blows against the President while making a stop in the early primary state of New Hampshire as he continues to mull a possible GOP challenge in 2020.

“I hope that someone does run the Republican primary, somebody to challenge the President,” he said Friday after a man in the audience asked if he’d make a White House run. “I think the odds that I will are long, but I’ve not ruled it out.”

Flake’s message targeted the “Never Trump” movement, as he sought to paint himself as a conservative alternative to the President.

“I stand before you today, the rarest of species, the American conservative. Americanus, Never Trumpus. Subgenus: RINO,” he quipped. “There’s a scurrilous rumor afoot that we’re not only rare but endangered. I don’t believe it.”

The senator from Arizona, who was facing a tough re-election bid and decided not to run for a second term, spoke at the Politics & Eggs series, a must-do stop for potential presidential contenders hosted by the New England Council and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.
