Arizona’s junior senator vows to ‘keep speaking out’

Gov. Doug Ducey is refusing take sides in the latest dust-up between his party’s presidential nominee and the state’s junior senator.
“I’m supporting Republicans across the board,” the governor said Tuesday after being asked about Donald Trump sending out a pair of tweets this weekend blasting Jeff Flake. In one, the candidate called out Flake as “weak and ineffective.”
But Trump didn’t start the latest spat.
The messages followed Flake appearing on Sunday talk shows saying he still could not commit to voting for the party’s nominee and calling what Trump said in Phoenix last week about his immigration policy “just confusing.”
Ducey, for his part, won’t intercede.
