Michael Flynn's Assassination 'Joke' After Being Gifted A New AR-15 Sparks Outrage

Michael Flynn's Assassination 'Joke' After Being Gifted A New AR-15 Sparks Outrage

Michael Flynn was recently gifted an AR-15 by The Church of Glad Tidings in Yuba City, California.

While he was being presented with the rifle, Flynn commented maybe he should go "find somebody" in Washington DC.


Flynn, who was national security advisor under Donald Trump, made the comment while on stage. His wildly inappropriate remark was met with applause and raucous laughter.

The video of the presentation, which has since been removed from the church's website, was uploaded to Twitter and is garnering a lot of attention.

Many are calling for Flynn to be recalled to active service and court martialed for his assassination joke, including the wife of whistleblower Alexander Vindman.





Many were disgusted, but unsurprised by Flynn's conduct.




Others have called for Flynn, a retired Army Lt. General, to be court martialed before.

Flynn is a QAnon believer and plead guilty to lying to the FBI about his communication with Russian contacts, but was pardoned by Donald Trump before he left office. Despite having confessed to lying to the FBI, Flynn is still collecting his military pension, and many believe he should not be doing so while advocating for violence against the US government.

He also called for a military coup in the United States during a Texas QAnon conference earlier this year, prompting retired General Barry McCaffrey to call him out publicly.

McCaffrey told MSNBC:

"This is putting the country at risk. I have never heard anything like this, probably in the last hundred years. This completely irresponsible, provocative language."

It remains to be seen whether Flynn will face any consequences for his actions, but the online backlash isn't showing any signs of slowing down.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
