Sen. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican, announced Tuesday he would not run for re-election in 2018, condemning in a speech aimed at President Donald Trump the "flagrant disregard of truth and decency" Flake says is undermining American democracy."There are times we must risk our careers," Flake said in a speech on the Senate floor. "Now is such a time."
Flake, who has criticized the path that the Republican Party has taken under Trump, said the impulse "to threaten and scapegoat" could turn America and the GOP into a "fearful, backward-looking people" and a "fearful, backward- looking party." Flake didn't mention Trump by name, but clearly was directing his remarks at the president and his administration.
