The Week Jeff Flake Was A Hero To Democrats
This American Life producer Zoe Chace talks about her experience following and reporting on Senator Jeff Flake, and what she learned about partisan politics and celebrity.
.@zchace says Jeff Flake was truly undecided about Kavanaugh and made up his mind in front of the whole country.
— Brian Lehrer Show (@BrianLehrer) October 17, 2018.@zchace: It's odd that a lot of Democrats think that, just because Jeff Flake is calling for a pause in intense fighting over rhetoric in our politics, that he is also gonna vote with them--because he definitely isn't.
