Suddenly, there’s a fight in the conservative movement over … Jeff Flake.
Jonathan Last, digital editor at the Weekly Standard, has taken aim at this humble publication for having the temerity to call balls and strikes with the Conservative Review Liberty Score. Are we really racing to the precipice of a schism over a one-term back-bench senator from Arizona, punching above his status? Are we really going to start infighting in the conservative movement over Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. (53%, F)? Last apparently thinks it’s worth it … all because senators like Susan Collins have lower Liberty Scores than, gasp, Elizabeth Warren. And he has no idea why. Oh no!
