A closed-Door meeting of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump with Senate Republicans was supposed to take out the differences on Capitol Hill, but it wrapped off with a clash between the the New York billionaire and Arizona senator Jeff Flake.

The ABC news reported,  the span began when Trump remarked that Flake had been critical of him in the past. Flake said Trump in the private meeting, that, “Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona, the one that wasn’t captured and I want to talk to you about statements like that.”

“When he attacks the other senator from Arizona, John McCain, and attacks his war record by saying I don't respect people who get captured, that's what an awful, awful thing to say about a war hero, a true war hero,” Flake said.

“And I don't think that we can be dismissive of that kind of statement. You don't talk about somebody who spent five years as a POW and didn't could have come home earlier if he used his status because of who his father was,” Flake continued.

“I mentioned in there that I'm not in the ‘Never Trump’ movement. I want to support our nominee, I really do. But given some of the statements that have been made, I'm finding it difficult,” Flake said.
