Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona wrote out a $100 check to Alabama Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones Tuesday, in an apparent response to President Trump's formal endorsement of embattled Republican candidate Roy Moore. Flake tweeted out a picture of his donation, adding the caption, "Country before Party." Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., who has also criticized Moore, tweeted that Flake's donation "is a bad idea," and cited Jones' position on abortion. We don't want to have a liberal Democrat in Alabama, believe me," Trump said Tuesday during a lunch with Republican senators. "I have a very different view of Roy Moore and what that does for the party," Flake said.
