Arizona senator Jeff Flake on Tuesday launched an extraordinary attack against Donald Trump and the "complicity" of the Republican party while announcing his decision to leave the Senate. Flake, a key Republican critic of Trump, said he was retiring at the end of his term in 2018 because there was no room for him in the party under the current president's stewardship. He then delivered an emotional appeal from the Senate floor against the state of affairs under Trump, bemoaning that his Republican colleagues had "given in or given up on core principles in favor of a more viscerally satisfying anger and resentment". "We must never allow ourselves to lapse into thinking that that is just the way things are now," he added. "We must stop pretending that the degradation of our politics and the conduct of some in our executive branch are normal.""It is time for our complicity and our accommodation for the unacceptable to end," Flake said....
