He’s just a simple Marine, but he wanted to know. So on Sunday he asked a fellow soldier, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a QAnon believer and confessed felon pardoned by Trump. Both were at a QAnon conference Sunday in Dallas, Texas.
“I want to know why what happened in Minamar (sic) can’t happen here?” Meaning a violent military coup.
The audience whooped and hollered.
“No reason, I mean, it should happen here. No reason. That’s right,” Flynn told the gathering of self-declared “patriots.”
CNN adds, “A message posted to a Parler account used by Flynn on Monday claimed Flynn’s words had been twisted and that he was not calling for a coup.”
Uh-huh. Your audience heard you five by five, general.
These are not patriots. They are radical Trumpist extremists. Remember when Trump called President Barack Obama weak for not applying a similar label to Islamists? Let’s not forget that.
