You might know Sen. Jeff Flake as:
1.) The Republican Senator who actively donated to Doug Jones:

2.) The Republican Senator who was caught bashing Trump on a hot mic:
3.) The Republican Senator who basically compared Trump to Stalin:
“It is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by Joseph Stalin to describe his enemies,” he said.
“The free press is the despot’s enemy, which makes the free press the guardian of democracy,” he added. “When a figure in power reflexively calls any press that doesn’t suit him ‘fake news,’ it is that person who should be the figure of suspicion, not the press.”
Ah, yes. Jeff Flake is the smarmy “Republican” who defends #FakeNews hacks.
As you can see, I’m not a fan of Jeff Flake. Perhaps that’s why I’m so amused by this news.
Guess where Flake was born. Go ahead. Guess.
If you said “a town named Snowflake,” YOU ARE CORRECT.
This is #RealNews.

Snowflake, set amid the open sky and vast emptiness of the high desert, is more than just the senator’s hometown. Its whimsical name derives from those of two Mormon settlers, Erastus Snow and William J. Flake, the senator’s great-great-grandfather.
Today, hundreds of Flake descendants, including the senator’s mother, live in the town of about 5,500, which is dotted with unofficial shrines to its early settlers and Mormon heritage. The James M. Flake pioneer home is catty-corner from the Eugene Flake heritage barn; a block away, at the pioneer museum, a Flake cousin last week was offering free tours.
As a very interesting sidenote: WikiLeaks bio on Jeff Flake shows that he was born in Snowflake, Arizona. How appropriate. https://t.co/6rj2a1eRgC
