	Description:		Senator Jeff Flake (R, AZ) admonishes President Donald Trump over his treatment of the press on the floor of the Senate. The Arizona Republican lambasted the president over his use of the phrase 'enemy of the people' to describe the press, pointing out that infamous dictator Joseph Stalin also used those words against his enemies. Flake said "2017 was a year which saw the truth-objective, empirical evidence based truth, more battered and abused than any time in the history of our country, at the hands of the most powerful figure in our government." Flake also derided President Trump's frequent use of the words 'fake news' as something he said the president does to deflect criticism.
