Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney: Trump will appoint people like Mike Flynn, who just 36 hours ago was asked at an event if the president’s opponents should be executed. And he basically said, ‘yes, I’m going to unleash the gates of hell.’ These are the types of people that Trump will be putting in place.

At an event on Friday, disgraced former Trump national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn endorsed the concept of a military tribunal to detain, imprison, and execute Democratic leaders.

  • Flynn was asked if he’d “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.”
  • He answered that Trump has to win first, and then “believe me, the gates of Hell, my Hell, will be unleashed.
  • ”Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI about communications with Russia as a result of the Mueller investigation. Trump pardoned him in November 2020.
  • Michael Flynn was involved in an effort to convince Trump to declare martial law in a last ditch effort to overturn the 2020 election.
