Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” host Chris Matthews played a clip of Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) comments criticizing President Donald Trump at a commencement address to Harvard Law School graduates.

Flake said, “Our presidency has been debased by a figure who has a seemingly bottomless appetite for destruction and division, and only a passing familiarity with how the Constitution works.”

He continued, “Our Article I branch of government, the Congress, that’s me, is utterly supine in the face of the moral vandalism that flows from the White House daily.”
