Jeff Flake, notorious RINO who’s been a thorn in the conservative movement, is now pushing for climate change taxes on Americans. The Daily Caller reports:
Outgoing Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake will soon co-introduce legislation to tax carbon dioxide emissions, according to news reports.
Flake, who will not be returning to Congress next year, and Delaware Sen. Chris Coon, a Democrat, will introduce their carbon tax bill as soon as Wednesday. The bill is unlikely to go anywhere with just two weeks left in the current legislative session.
Flake and Coon’s bill will be the Senate companion to bipartisan House carbon tax legislation introduced in November. The Washington Times first reported of Flake’s carbon tax bill Wednesday, and The Hill later confirmed it.
Like the House bill, Flake’s carbon tax bill would tax emissions at $15 per ton — a rate that would rise $10 per year until greenhouse gas emissions, hitting $100 per ton in 2030. All of the revenues raised through the tax will get rebated to households to compensate for higher energy costs.
Considering the huge protests that have erupted in France over climate agenda taxes, it is surprising that Flake would not see this as a problem. He will not be missed.
Flake is aptly named!
Jeff Flake, the Flake just won’t go away, will he? This so-called Republican Senator and backstabber should be put away in a padded cell for the rest of his life for being a Democrat in Republican clothing.
This asshole is out in a couple of weeks and it’s now he wants to start to introduce legislation. Give me a break!
Clueless Jeff Flake decided to not run for re election because he found out that the people found out that he is clueless. He is truly a moron.
YES HE IS AND IT WOULD GIVE ME GREAT PLEASURE TO KICK HIM SQUARE IN HIS CHIN.
the host of Morning joe is an example of a liberal changing his stripes to a rino because he was smart enough to realize that he couldn’t get elected as a lib…. lol
It’s not just the RINOs. Politicians in general have very short memories. Just look at Pelosi promising more gun control. The democrats have learned nothing from the 1994 debacle.
Jeff Snowflake, fake, flake, knows that he is done as a Republican. Now, his goal is to get some of that lefty money. He knows that the fools on the left will throw money at anyone who promotes their climate change or other socialist ideas, or presents is anti-Trump. He is a total loser who will not be missed in the Senate. However, don’t be surprised if he ends up on CNN or MSNBC with a book deal. That’s usually the route for the RINO’s and other leftist swamp dwellers.
Jeff fluke is such a stupid Rhino along with his Communist Sister Alex Ocassional Quartez
He isn’t going away, Next we’ll hear he switched Party’s which is good as it will be official as he is a Damn/Socialist now.
I first knew he was a Democrat because he never smiles but He smells like the rest of Dem Der Commies.
Climate change is false. Demoncrats use it to instill fear.
Like Diogenes with a lamp in the darkness I am looking for new leaders, even a new party if that’s what it takes. The once fine Republican party is so infested with RINOs and swamp dwellers and career politicians it has become useless and derelict in it’s responsibility to conservative Americans. It has become more evident that too many of them inhabit the middle of the isle, being neither fish nor fowl and only emerging when it benefits their personal interests . Even when causes important to the very survival to the Republic as it was envisioned such as vital immigration reform and overhaul of medical benefits and the creeping/galloping emergence of socialism in America, the Republicans offer whispers in the wind in defense of America. Are there good people in the party, certainly, but they are being overshadowed by too many followers of Jeff Flakes and the late John McCain. For two years we have given little more than lip service to the waltz the leftist Department of justice has led us through, mocking our feeble responses and shutting down our legal defense at every turn. I’m afraid the Democratic socialist party is going to win. Open borders and repeated invasions will destabilize our economy and permanently change the face of America. All of our concern, prayers and hope will be for naught. Sadly, defeated by our own army.
Climate change will exist LONG after the human race has become extinct! Yes, climate will out live us, those humans who think they know it all! This planet is roughly 6.5 billion years old, and it will probably out live Al Gore and the rest of the IDIOTS that are pushing their agenda on us! Hopefully, Jeff Flake will go away very soon, he is an IDIOT!
Climate change warning from Mayans over a thousand years ago. It’s going to get cold.
“Carbon Footprint” my ASS! All of these hypocrites flew to that UN Summit in private planes just like all the world’s politicians and rich actors. Al Gore earned $60 million on his “Global Warming” fraud and he predicted in 2008 the “Entire Northern Polar cap would disappear in 5 year” …the Northern Polar cap has actually increased in size according to NASA data…suddenly when the data collected since 1970 reveals global warming is ONLY 1/10TH A DEGREE in those 45 years these village idiots suddenly changed their mantra to “Climate Change.” Al Gore lives in a house that uses more energy than 50 households combined and he flies everywhere in his private plane…”Carbon Footprint” is the new term for higher taxes that the rich and famous can abuse as the rest of us pay through the nose. But, hold your nose folks, the UN is once again dictating how we live imposed on the world because most of those UN morons live in Shit Hole countries and envy our prosperity and way of life we worked so hard to achieve…their goal of “One World Government” I hope I never live long enough to see. Watching Paris burn and the citizens thumbing their noses at their moronic President having to back off of his tax plan is a joy to behold…TRUMP IS RIGHT AGAIN ABOUT THE PARIS ACCORDS.
It really annoys me when these people are called “stupid”. “Stupid” people don’t make it into positions like that. They are EVIL. They do what they do INTENTIONALLY. When you call them “stupid”, you assume that their intentions are good, but they just can’t tell their rear end from a porcupine. They would also have to be incredibly uninformed, which itself is either intentional or due to lack of enough sense to come in out of the rain, and that clearly is not the case.
So you’re saying they ran on a conservative ticket without knowing what conservatives want. What is the likelihood of winning that way? They had to campaign with conservative promises, so how could they do that if they were too “stupid” to know what to say to get elected?
NO, it’s called LYING. Please get that through your own thick skulls for crying out loud people. They are NOT “idiots”, or “clueless”. They are EVIL. LIARS.
Why doesn’t this guy dry up and leave.
Flake is a two faced, inept, crooked, do nothing politician. I’m counting the days till he is out of office. He has no shame and thinks people don’t see through him but we do, very clearly.
Getting rid of all the Liberals is the way to go. You have to get rid of all the Democrats and the Tax & Spend Republicans.
“CLUELESS” and “RINO” are SYNONYMOUS!
Flake is an Idiot, plain and simple…
