General Michael Flynn, former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump, will speak in a live Zoom appearance at 3 PM Saturday, August 3 at Ignite Church on South Brownell Road in Williston.
The live Zoom with Flynn will precede the screening of his documentary film ‘Flynn,’ which will air 4 PM. The film – without a Zoom call – also will be shown Sunday, August 4 at the VFW in Morrisville. Lt. Col. Ivan Raikman will provide a Q&A following both screenings. Tickets ($25) for both events can be purchased by clicking on the ads on the VDC homepage.
The film’s appearance in Vermont was arranged by Mark Coester of Westminster, the GOP candidate for the Vermont House who has been endorsed by Gen. Flynn.
VDC-TV’s Guy Page and Paul Bean interviewed Gen. Flynn last week on Friday at Four. Several takeaways from the interview –
- The political persecution that led to Flynn’s forced resignation as NSA came not only from the Obama national security team, but from within the Trump administration, Gen. Flynn said. The movie gets into that in detail.
- Gen. Flynn has a grudging admiration for Bernie Sanders. NOT for his socialist politics, but for his independent streak. He thinks Sanders as the Democratic nominee would have had more success than Hilary Clinton in the 2016 general election.
- He had deep New England roots (born and raised in Rhode Island, lived in Massachusetts, and visited Vermont to play college sports and ski at Mt. Mansfield).
