[Magdalen] 'I will not be complicit.' Jeff Flake's retirement speech, annotated - The Washington Post

[Jay Weigel]

It was a terrific speech. What should not be lost sight of, however, is
that he's voted with the Trump side 90% of the time. If he doesn't continue
to do so, I'll rescind my comment, The speech seems to have been more about
the president's behavior than about his programs.
