Right-wing crackpot Michael Flynn is back in the headlines once again. Early last week, Flynn gave a round of comments at a GOP convention where he was seen on camera encouraging a coup in America because the GOP isn’t getting its way.

In response to hisi own words he has since claimed they didn’t happen. “I am no stranger to media manipulating my words and therefore let me repeat my response to a question asked at the conference: There is no reason it (a coup) should happen here (in America),” he wrote on Parler. In the same post, he added, “For all the fake news ‘journalists’: Let me be VERY CLEAR—There is NO reason whatsoever for any coup in America, and I do not and have not at any time called for any action of that sort.”
