Article snippet: President Trump on Sunday took aim at Sen. KNXV microphone. The president has repeatedly and publicly aired his dislike of Flake, a vocal critic who refused to support Trump during the 2016 election. The two have become entangled in Twitter war of words, slamming one another's policies. Republicans, who have a two-seat majority in the Senate, are in the middle of pushing their tax-reform plan and other top legislative priorities before the year’s end. Trump claims Flake, who announced last month that he would not seek reelection in 2018, will vote against the GOP's tax-reform proposal. Flake, however, has not publicly stated whether he will or will not support the measure. Flake has also torn into his own party, accusing it of abandoning its core principles during a speech on the Senate floor.
