Jeff Flake: Trump’s Degradation of Our Political Culture Isn’t Normal

‘We shouldn’t assume that our kids should have to think that this is normal’

RUSH EXCERPT:
FLAKE: "I think so. I think so. I mean for a long time I have been concerned. Way back before the campaign, when Donald Trump started, you know, years ago questioning Barack Obama's birth place, for example, that's wrong. You just shouldn't do that. It has no place in politics. He's continued. And he continued through the campaign and has continued through the presidency. So what I wanted to say in that speech was this is not normal. And-- but we shouldn't accept it as normal. This kind of degradation of political culture. And it really strikes me, and I think a lot of us, we shouldn't assume that our kids should have to think that this is normal."
