Outgoing Republicans Say GOP Has Changed

in news •  7 years ago 

A group of Republicans who have decided not to run for re-election told CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the Republican Party has changed, and not for the better.

Reps. Ed Royce (R-Calif.), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), and Charlie Dent (R-Pa.) and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) complained about the GOP’s narrowing focus and the perception that the Republicans must pledge loyalty to the president instead of to GOP principles.

Flake, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, said when he switched from the House to the Senate, he envisioned he would serve two terms, but found himself “out of step” with the Republican Party.

“And it makes it very difficult to have the positions that I have and, you know, win re-election in a Republican primary,” Flake said. He said he hasn’t changed “that much” but “the party has changed considerably.”
