[ [link removed] ]Michael Flynn Endorsed a Military Coup! Demand that he's court martialed! >>

People For Member,

A military coup to overthrow President Biden?! That’s what was proposed by
Trump crony and disgraced General Michael Flynn at a QAnon conference over
Memorial Day weekend.^[1]

When asked why a military-style coup – such as the one that recently took
place in Myanmar – couldn’t happen here, Flynn responded “No reason… it
should happen here […] that’s right.” A former U.S. Army General endorsing
a military coup to overturn the results of a free and fair election is a
dangerous threat to our democracy and should NOT be taken lightly!

take the necessary steps to have Michael Flynn court martialed and
stripped of military pension! >>

This isn’t the first time Michael Flynn suggested military action to block
the will of The People. In December of last year Flynn, and Trump’s former
Big Lie lawyer, Sidney Powell, urged then-President Trump to declare
martial law so that they could “rerun” elections in states where Trump
lost to President Joe Biden.^[2]

Flynn’s flirtations with fascism are nothing new – and his recent comments
may border on sedition. The American people should not pay be paying the
pension of a disgraced retired general who is endorsing the overthrow of
the U.S. government by the military. It’s extremely dangerous rhetoric
aimed at an audience that has already proven they are willing to act with
violence – as witnessed during the January 6 insurrection.

court martial Michael Flynn! >>

The dangerous delusions don’t stop there. According to recent reporting
from People For’s Right Wing Watch, former President Trump is allegedly
telling those close to him that he “expects to be reinstated as president
by August” – a claim that was echoed by Powell during the QAnon conference
and was received with raucous cheers from the audience.

Trump may no longer be in office, but his operatives and supporters are
still just as energized and motivated as they’ve ever been – and the
danger they pose to our democracy cannot be ignored. Michael Flynn must be
held to account for his inflammatory rhetoric that seeks to overturn our
elections and undermine our democracy.

Thanks for all that you do,
