Trump blasts Flake as ‘weak on crime and border’
President Trump on Wednesday attacked Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake by name, accusing his fellow Republican of being “weak on crime & border.”
Trump escalated his feud with one of his toughest GOP critics one night after he went after the senator at a raucous rally in his home state.
“Phoenix crowd last night was amazing — a packed house. I love the Great State of Arizona. Not a fan of Jeff Flake, weak on crime & border!” Trump tweeted.

“Nobody wants me to talk about your other senator, who is weak on border [security], weak on crime, so I won’t talk about him,” he said.
