Mike Huckabee Unleashes on ‘Selfish Narcissist’ Flake for Vowing to Oppose Trump’s Judicial Picks

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) stalled things on Capitol Hill as he stood firm in voting against President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees until legislation is voted on to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, an investigation that’s looking into possible collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Moscow.

On Wednesday, Flake showed that he wasn’t swaying as he voted “no,” siding with Democrats, to confirm Thomas Farr as a U.S. District Judge — resulting in Vice President Mike Pence needing to step in to break a tie procedural vote.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee called out Flake as a “selfish narcissist,” adding that the senator’s hate toward the president outweighs “his sense of duty.”

“Good riddance!” Huckabee wrote on Twitter to the soon-to-be-retired senator.

“Flake is a selfish narcissist who would stop one of the few things he actually could do for his country-confirm responsible judges. His hate of @realDonaldTrump exceeds his sense of duty. His proposal is unconstitutional anyway. Good riddance! Go hide in an elevator!”

Huckabee’s elevator comment comes from when Judge Brett Kavanaugh was being confirmed to the Supreme Court — in the midst of sexual misconduct accusations — Flake was approached by a group of sexual assault survivors who encouraged him not to vote for Kavanaugh’s confirmation, which led to Flake to call for a delay to the vote for an FBI investigation.

Watch the video below:

After what had occurred with Flake’s wavering vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee — which Flake is a member of — canceled all plans on Thursday to vote on nearly two dozen of President Trump’s judicial nominees.

If Flake voted no, along with other Democrats, none of the picks would move out of the committee, Fox News reported.

“So my commitment to not vote for judges before the committee or on the floor until we get this done stands,” Flake said earlier Wednesday about the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act, a bill that would protect Mueller’s probe.

“This is a solution in search of a problem,” Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said earlier this week about “probably” blocking the bill.

Flake, a vocal critic of Trump, will soon be on his way out the door — or elevator — as he didn’t seek re-election and will be succeeded by Democrat Kyrsten Sinema on January 3.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
