ABC: ‘Hero’ Jeff Flake ‘Soothed the Nation’ With ‘Stunning Act of Bipartisanship’

[See NewsBusters for more.] The move to nominate Jeff Flake for sainthood has commenced in the liberal media. His decision last Friday to delay a final vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination brought fawning coverage from ABC’s Nightline on Monday night. Co-host Byron Pitts swooned that, to some, he’s a “hero” who “soothed the nation.” The journalist even touted Flake as a presidential candidate, cheering, “In New Hampshire tonight, as speculation grows over a possible White House run, sowing seeds of a new kind of politics.”
