11-16-21 - Michael Flynn's Remarks

Flynn's Anti-Semitism

Pardoned criminal Michael Flynn, former National Security Adviser to ex-president Trump for a few weeks before his lies to the FBI became known, declared at a meeting of right-wingers in Texas last week that "If we are going to have one nation under God -- which we must -- we have to have one religion."

Flynn ignores that such a position contradicts the First Amendment to the Constitution. Although unsaid, but clearly coming through to his audience was what that one religion ought to be. Flynn echoes the position of anti-Semites in this country throughout its history and failure to denounce him, especially by Republicans and supporters of the former president, indicates how much anti-Semitism has influenced their thoughts.

You probably were aware of this, but the point is that it should not be allowed to slide by and taken for granted.
