Monday while speaking the Forbes Under 30 conference in Boston, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said President Donald Trump should have been “disqualified” from as a candidate for the presidency for questioning former President Barack Obama’s birthplace.
Flake said, “I could never warm to the president. Long before he ran, he talked about President Obama not being a citizen. I thought that itself is disqualifying. You cannot do that.”
He continued, “And then talked about John McCain in a derogatory way. Then talked about Mexicans in a derogatory way. I just think that we’ve got to do better than that. We can’t refer to our opponents, political opponents on the other side of the aisle, as losers and clowns. We have too big of issues to solve in this country than to just be partisan all the time.”
