GOP senator Ben Sasse: Flake donation to Alabama Dem 'a bad idea'

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Tuesday objected to Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) donating $100 to Democratic Alabama Senate candidate Doug Jones's campaign, calling it “a bad idea.”

“This donation is a bad idea. It’s possible to be against BOTH partial birth abortion AND child molestation,” Sasse tweeted, referring to Jones's position on abortion, as well as the sexual misconduct allegations against Jones's Republican rival, Roy Moore.

Flake, a frequent critic of Moore, tweeted on Tuesday that he was donating $100 to Jones’s campaign, writing in the memo line of the check “Country over Party."
