That headline should be something out of “The Onion” or “The National Enquirer.”

Unfortunately, it’s not.

Retiring RINO Senator Jeff Flake (AZ) is considering a 2020 primary challenge against President Trump.

Jeff Flake is not ruling out a GOP primary challenge to President Donald Trump in 2020, telling Politico and The Hill Friday that “somebody needs to run.”

The retiring senator from Arizona said he hasn’t yet decided whether that “somebody” will be him.

“I’ve not ruled it out. I’ve not ruled it in. Just, somebody needs to run on the Republican side,” Flake told the outlets on Friday.

“I hope somebody does [run], just to remind Republicans what it means to be conservative and what it means to be decent. We’ve got to bring that back. You can whip up the base for a cycle or two but it wears thin. Anger and resentment are not a governing philosophy.”

Trump: “I retired Jeff Flake. I’m very proud of it. I did the country a great service”

Flake will partner with Democrat Sen. Chris Coons to get back at Trump.

When the Senate convenes next week, @ChrisCoons and I will ask for unanimous consent to bring S.2644, the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act, to a vote on the Senate floor. After the firing of The AG, it is more important than ever to protect the Special Counsel.

Jeff Sessions did the right thing by recusing himself nearly two years ago. He has paid a heavy price for his independence ever since. We owe him a debt of gratitude.

Flake’s anti-Trump agenda continues to this day and will probably continue for years to come.

From The Hill:

Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) on Thursday urged fellow Republicans to condemn an immigration-themed video President Trump released as part of an effort to stoke his base ahead of next week’s midterms, calling the ad “sickening.”

This is a sickening ad. Republicans everywhere should denounce it. https://t.co/5sftOt57pI

WATCH:

Meanwhile, President Trump’s overall approval rating just hit 50%, which is quite high considering the majority of news coverage of the commander-in-chief is negative.

An even more interesting statistic should have Democrats very worried about the midterm elections.

Black support for Trump has now hit a whopping 40%.

#BLEXIT is a movement of bright colors and hope.

A message to minorities that we are not permanent victims, belonging to the Left.

Let’s EXIT this narrative, together, as Americans.https://t.co/qUyfwMPCtv pic.twitter.com/K2sXiwtuu5
