According to ABC 15, Giles was referring to Trump in his comment and his office did not dispute it.
In post on twitter, Trump hit back and wrote:
Flake will vote on GOP tax reform bill based on its merits
Flake was among the Republicans critical of Trump. Last month, he delivered a blistering speech against the President and announced his decision not to seek re-election. According to him, the current political environment and leadership in the United States is crude. He said it’s his “obligation” as a “matter of duty and conscience” to criticize Trump.
The Republican Party has a two-seat majority in the Senate. It is currently pushing its tax reform legislation before the end of the year. The Senate Finance Committee already approved the bill and it is heading to the Senate floor for final approval sometime after the Thanksgiving. The House of Representatives passed their version of the GOP tax reform bill last Friday.
On Sunday, Flake’s spokesman Jason Samuels told CNN, the senator is still reviewing the merits of the tax reform legislation. The spokesman said, “How he votes on it will have nothing to do with the President.”
