Arizona Senator Jeff Flake has been caught badmouthing Donald Trump and Roy Moore to a Republican mayor who responded by calling the president an 'idiot'.
At a tax reform event in Arizona on Friday, Flake appeared to forget that he was still wearing his mic when he told Mesa mayor John Giles: 'If we become the party of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we are toast.'
Giles replied by urging him to run for president himself, saying: 'I'm not throwing smoke at you but you're the guy that could... just for fun.
'Think how much fun it would be just to be the foil and point out what an idiot this guy is.'
The pair had just finished answering questions on the subject and had not yet taken off their microphones.
Sen. Flake's comment was in reference to the growing accusations against Alabama Judge Moore who is running for a seat in the senate.
Nine women have now come forward to accuse Moore of sexual misconduct.
President Trump, who has fought off accusations of his own in the past, has said nothing of the allegations against Moore but has enthusiastically condemned Dem. Sen. Al Franken over a photograph which showed him groping a female model while she slept. Franken had apologized repeatedly for the image by the time Trump tweeted about him.
A video of Flake and Giles' exchange was captured by ABC News affiliate KNXV.
Moore is running for the seat left by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and has vowed to carry on his campaign despite the growing accusations against him.
