1. But hasn't he voted for all of trump's bills? Words are pretty, but actions speak louder.

[OliverQ]

2. He talks big, but caves to whatever Trump wants.

Actions should match his words. He should start voting with Democrats to put a halt to Trump and the GOP's agenda and slow the damage they're doing.

But he won't, he keeps voting with Republicans because he's a fake.

3. Yea, too bad he doesn't walk the walk.

4. That was recorded - it was earlier today.

I agree with everything he said; I just wish he and the other GOPers hadn't let it come to this. He tells people to "stand and fight" but he's quitting the Senate, and he's consistently voted for things Trump wanted even after he announced his retirement. So - great words, but not much else. Maybe he'll fire up the Harvard Law grads he was speaking to.

5. True but I'm glad Rachel pointed out his

recent voting record does not show an attempt to stop the Con

9. Yeah, I'd say talk is cheap

But something tells me that Flake's honorarium for speaking at Harvard wasn't small, at least by most people's standards.

10. Yes -- she presented the speech in important context. n/t

6. All talk. The things that matter, his votes, back Trump 100%.

Even with him quitting and being a freebird on votes, he is still voting with Trump 100%.

7. But

If he really believes what he is saying why is he smiling the entire time??? There is nothing to smile about what is happening!! So to me the words do not match the face!!!!

8. They used to call assholes like him "empty shirts"...

Rachel's commentary about it was pretty much spot on.
