Donald Trump’s former national security advisor told an audience in Dallas that a Myanmar-like coup should happen here. Michael Flynn, a one-time Lieutenant General in the Army was responding to a question at a Qanon conference in Dallas. Here’s the video of the comment.
Myanmar’s military seized power in February and arrested the country’s democratically elected leaders.

Flynn, a former Army general, was fired by President Donald Trump in 2017 after less than a month as his national security adviser, after it was revealed that he had lied to Vice President Mike Pence. After pleading guilty to making false statements to the FBI during the Mueller investigation, Flynn moved to withdraw his plea and the Justice Department dropped charges against him. A federal judge ruled the matter be placed on hold, but Trump pardoned Flynn last November before a ruling on whether the Justice Department could drop the criminal case against him.
CNN has reported Flynn told Donald Trump in a White House meeting after the election that the president could impost martial law and overturn the results.
