Donald Trump national security adviser
Michael Flynn for apparently endorsing the idea of a Myanmar-like military coup happening in the United States.
Flynn drew massive condemnation over Memorial Day weekend when he attended a conference organized by fellow QAnon conspiracy supporters, and he was asked “why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here.” The question was a clear reference to the uprising earlier this year in Myanmar, during which, their democratically-elected government was overthrown and replaced by a military leader who initiated a violent crackdown to maintain a hold on the country.
“No reason, I mean, it should happen here. No reason. That’s right,” Flynn responded. After his comments were met with public outrage, he released a new statement claiming his comments were distorted by the media and that he did not endorse a Myanmar-like coup.
