Jeff Flake attends a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

Republican Senator Jeff Flake, in character – willing to criticize President Trump, as always – argued in an interview broadcast earlier today that a Republican must run against Trump in 2020, in order to “remind Republicans what it means to be conservative,” the Hill reports.

Apart from reminding America what it means to be a conservative, the hypothetical Republican candidate in the upcoming 2020 presidential election will also need to remind the country “what it means to be decent.” For Flake, verbally assaulting President Trump is nothing new – the senator has, essentially, made a name for himself doing just that – but Flake rarely, if ever, backs his words up with actions.

A FiveThirtyEight updating tally which tracks how members of the two chambers of the United States Congress vote in relation to Donald Trump demonstrate that Flake has voted in line with President Trump’s position nearly every single time. Flake has, according to the tally, voted in line with Trump 86 percent of the time.
