The far right-wing ReAwaken Tour made a stop at Trump National Doral in Miami on Friday, and one of the speakers was Gen. Michael Flynn. While onstage, Flynn went into tent revival mode and started asking the crowd for “pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters” to help him… fight subpoenas?
As Europe’s hit “The Final Countdown” played in the background, Flynn told the crowd, “We don’t like to do this, but we just had another, I mean, we just had like another batch of subpoenas come out of the Jack Smith special counsel, I mean, these people are unbelievable.” ReAwaken America founder Clay Clark also suggested: “Siphon some gas out of your car, sell it to someone for eight bucks a gallon.” Here’s the video, via progressive watchdog Ron Filipkowski:

Flynn, who went from being a national security advisor to former President Donald Trump to full-blown conspiracy theorist, made it clear that at least on that particular day, it was up to Trump & Co.’s fans to fund their legal defense rather than a presidential campaign. (Former Trump advisor Pete Navarro was also onstage.) The fact that Trump’s fundraising was going towards his own legal bills was no secret, but this is Flynn blatantly panhandling for loose change in the name of defending their anointed leader against “these people.” So, hooray for transparency!
