Asked about political executions, Michael Flynn says 'gates of hell' will be unleashed under Trump

Michael Flynn, who served as national security adviser in the Trump administration, let his fascist flag fly at a Christian nationalist event Friday.

In a video recorded at the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival in northeastern Pennsylvania, Flynn responded to an attendee’s question about military tribunals and potential executions of Donald Trump’s perceived adversaries if Trump returns to the White House. The former president has vowed that Flynn, whom Trump pardoned after the retired Army lieutenant general pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, would serve in his administration if he’s elected this fall.

The attendee asked:

Is there any chance that, should the election go in a positive result, you would get your rank reinstated and sit at the head of a military tribunal to not only drain the swamp but imprison the swamp — and, on a few occasions, execute the swamp?


The man’s remark was met with applause from this apparently bloodthirsty crowd. And you can hear in Flynn’s response that he’s hesitant about offering a full-throated public endorsement of this idea. But he walked right up to the line.
