Fact Checks (2)

"Jeff Flake had an 18% approval rating in Arizona"

Mostly True

Flake's approval ratings were historically low in Arizona during this period, with some polls showing approval in the high teens to low twenties among Republican primary voters.

"Colleagues gave him a standing ovation at the Senate meeting"

Half True

Reports confirmed Trump received applause at the Senate Republican lunch, but the meeting also featured tension and Flake's confrontation. 'Standing O' likely exaggerates the response.
