A recent leak has unveiled a startling development involving Michael Flynn, a former national security advisor to Donald Trump. The leaked audio features Flynn expressing admiration for the QAnon movement, a far-right group known for its extreme conspiracy theories.
The Unlikely Alliance
During a Zoom call with QAnon influencers, Flynn was heard expressing heartfelt support, stating, “I love you guys.” This endorsement is a significant shift for Flynn, who previously served as the 24th national security advisor under Trump in 2017. His tenure was brief, lasting only 24 days, following revelations of misleading information provided to Vice President Mike Pence about his communications with the Russian ambassador.
A Controversial Figure
Since leaving his post, Flynn’s journey has been marked by a descent into far-right ideologies. He famously pledged an oath to QAnon in July 2020 and was even considered for the FBI director role during the late stages of Trump’s presidency. His recent remarks underline a deepening involvement with groups like QAnon, signaling a troubling alignment with extreme political theories and movements.
