Sen. Jeff Flake Tweets Video Showing the Moment a Herd of Elephants Charged His Convoy During Trip to Africa

Sen. Jeff Flake tweeted video Thursday of a herd of elephants charging his convoy on his trip to Africa.

"These elephants have no respect for a fellow Republican. No respect I tell ya," Flake tweeted along with a video of elephants hurriedly approaching his vehicle.

"Yeah, it's a real charge," one person is heard saying as the giant mammals approach.

It happened while the Arizona Republican was visiting Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia, along with Sens. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Ben Cardin, (D-Md.), Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

Flake, Cardin and Coons are members of the Senate's Africa and Global Health Policy Subcommittee.

Flake and Coons have together introduced a bill called the END Wildlife Trafficking Act, aimed at helping the federal government work with other countries to stop poaching and wildlife trafficking, ABC News reported.
