Flake voted with Trump 92% of the time

Sen. Jeff Flake cast himself as one of President Trump's most vocal opponents as he said "enough" to the president on Tuesday — but he's voted in support of Trump's positions almost 92 percent of the time, according to FiveThirtyEight.

Why it matters: Flake may have genuine disagreements with Trump's tone and style, but you wouldn't be able to tell from his voting record.

Four times Flake did vote against Trump:

Extending government funding to include Hurricane Harvey relief funds in September.
Imposing additional sanctions on North Korea, Iran, and Russia in July.
Imposing Russia sanctions in June.
The 2017 FY appropriations bill.
