dr. kelly ward challenged senator mccain last cycle but she wasn't viewed as a credible enough candidate for those outside groups to get involved. but the president's distaste for senator flake is so much that he is at least tweeting nice things about her. but in ht general election, if senator flake distances himself too much from president trump, he risks losing some republican voters in the general election. which could hurt him because he's probably going to face a credible democratic opponent, maybe congresswoman. le. >> don't forget the president might need these republicans, say, if the russia investigation heats up. but it's not all just about politics here. there are serious moral and cultural issues at play here and more breaking news. the president is jumping into those moral and cultural questions about both feet again just now, one minute ago, he made this statement. the press of the united states, sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. the he's clearly talking about what he called t
