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.

Design For New Commemorative Coin Featuring Trump Just Dropped—And People Can't Believe It's Real

On March 19, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), comprising people appointed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, unanimously approved a final design concept proposed for a 24-karat gold United States semiquincentennial commemorative coin.

Instead of featuring the Declaration of Independence or some other images central to the foundation of the nation in 1776 or more universally recognized symbols from the last 250 years, the CFA chose a sketch based on a photo of Trump leaning over the Resolute desk in the Oval Office for the coin's obverse or "heads" side.

Gavin Newsom Said What We're All Thinking About Trump's Decision To Deploy ICE To Airports

After President Donald Trump moved to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out exactly why the move is so troubling for citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
