Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) criticized President Trump for his mocking comments at a rally about Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, calling Trump’s remarks “kind of appalling,” The Hill reports.
Said Flake: “There’s no time and no place for remarks like that. To discuss something this sensitive at a political rally is just not right, it’s just not right. I wish he hadn’t done it. It’s kind of appalling.”
