President Donald Trump flew in his helicopter over the huge protest rally gathered around the Supreme Court on Saturday, Dec. 12, under the theme of “Stop the Steal.” He was on the way to West Point for the Army-Navy game. Gen. Michael Flynn, recently pardoned by Trump, was speaking from the stage at the time. In the rally two weeks ago, the President drove by the marchers in his travelcade.
Flynn said the following: “There are paths that are still in play.... Everybody just needs to take a deep breath: I mean, if there’s a guy that could be vindictive, or could be hateful or scornful, you’re lookin’ at him! And I’m not; because this is not about me, it’s not about my family, although family is a major component of who we are, this is about our faith; this is about our faith in each other; this is about our Constitution and the fabric of our Constitution....
“The Founding Fathers were really brilliant, and they said, we know that there’s going to be corruption right here, inside the Walls of Jericho [D.C.]; they knew it, so they created something where the states had responsibility, the people closest to ‘we the people’ were the state’s legislators. That’s super important — if you don’t understand that? Then, walk away from here and make sure that you echo that message back to your hometowns. You’ve got to do that. We cannot accept what we are going through as right.... It’s a crucible moment in the history of America.”
