GOP senator: Calls to lock Clinton up are ‘jumping the shark’

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Wednesday questioned the wisdom of the Republican National Convention’s focus on calling for prison for Hillary Clinton.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee “now belongs in prison? C’mon. We can make the case that she shouldn’t be elected without jumping the shark,” Flake tweeted.

At several points during his speech, the audience chanted, “Lock her up.”
