The excess of Weasels

Big Gun means more than a modicum of morality to Republican Senator Jeff Flake.

Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) obfuscatory stance on background checks came back to haunt him Monday after the New York Daily News unearthed a letter he sent to the mother of a shooting victim, vowing to support stronger background checks before he voted against them.

In a handwritten note to Caren Teves, whose son Alex died trying to protect his girlfriend during the Aurora, Colo. theater shooting, Flake said he was “truly sorry” for her loss and vowed that “strengthening background checks is something we agree on.” His letter was a follow-up response after he and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) were criticized for initially sending rote form letters to the mother in response to her grievances.

He wrote this promise AFTER sending a pathetic fake letter.

That's a double-dose of douchebaggery.
