(Bloomberg) -- Senator Jeff Flake called out Donald Trump Jr. for making fun of the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by comparing it to a grade-school crush.

“This is sickening. No one should make light of this situation,” the Arizona Republican tweeted on Wednesday, including a photo from Trump Jr.’s earlier Instagram post, which is a note in childlike handwriting that says: “Will you be my girlfriend, Love Bret.” The note includes boxes to check for “yes” or “no.”

1. Yes he IS running for president..

4. Long term yes but he might try a run at getting a term as Governor first after

Ducey then after he does one term of that he can move on to trying to win the nomination for President.

2. This shouldn't be suprising

Jr's a chip off the old block.

3. I didn't think it was possible to surpass

Rump in crass behavior, but Donnie Jr is changing my mind.

6. He had the right teacher

5. Flake will disrespect her more when he votes to move the nomination out of committee. NT

7. That

10. I think Flake will vote NO to move nomination, & NO on Kavanaugh on Supreme Court.

Making fun of the situation to please Dad is the last straw for Flake.. This is not a joke on any level. This whole story is awful beyond words. Trump Jr. is a total reflection of Trump Sr. I think Trump Jr. is attacking the accuser on orders from his father. This way Trump Sr. stays clear of the dirty comments, and Trump Sr. hit the opposition with the lesser attacks. Trump hits high, Jr. hits low. These two are totally gone. Like it is a game..
....But, I don't know nothing...we will see in the next week or so..
.................................The Three of them Trump Sr, Jr.m and Kavanaugh ...define stupid and hate..............

8. Why is Trump Jr's attitude at all surprising,

look at his role model

[sakabatou]

9. The Trump family has no empathy whatsoever

11. Jr. is probably stinging from that rebuke.

Stinging with a really smug look on his face.
