Mike Flynn Claims Mike Pence, Paul Ryan Plotted Against Trump During His First Term

Retired three-star Army General Mike Flynn, who briefly served as President Donald Trump’s first-term national security adviser, said former Vice President Mike Pence and ex-House Speaker Paul Ryan plotted against Trump during his first term.

In an interview with Benny Johnson last week, Flynn claimed Pence and Ryan wanted Trump out after the release of the “pu**y tapes” before the 2016 election.

“Paul Ryan and Mike Pence wanted Trump out during the very famous, prior to the election in 2016, the ‘pu**y tapes.’ I know at that time that there were discussions between Ryan, Reince Priebus, and Mike Pence about, well, if Trump steps down, then we’re gonna have a plan because they actually wanted… they were hopeful because that tape didn’t come out through Democrat operatives,” Flynn said.

“So there was a plan for, you know, hopefully Trump’s going to step down and go, ‘screw this, you guys can have it.’ Those guys were ready to step right in,” he continued.

Flynn said this reveals the “Uniparty” problem, where insiders in both parties oppose Trump’s “America first” agenda, according to the Conservative Brief.

“This is where the ‘Uniparty’ steps in and the Uniparty is one of these big problems that we face in this country because they don’t want to accept that we are in the midst of a revolution and a Marxist takeover,” Flynn said.

He also mentioned former President Barack Obama, saying, “There’s no reason in the world why Barack Obama should have ever won the first time around, but he did. Because there was a push by a lot of people because they knew this was the opportunity that they had to start this turnover of our country. Eight years of Barack, eight years of Hillary, we’d be done.”

Flynn then talked about Trump’s current authority and the decisions he faces.

“Trump has got a lot of authority, right? A lot of leadership authority that he’s been given by the judgment of the American people, by the majority of the American people, the way our country is supposed to be run,” Flynn said. “And in that judgment, he’s going to have to make a decision. This is kind of where I keep saying, ‘enough is enough.’”

Flynn emphasized the President’s role as chief law enforcement officer, not the Attorney General.

“I want people to remember that the chief law enforcement officer in the country is not the Attorney General, it’s the President of the United States. We always say, you know, he’s the President, and he’s the Commander in Chief. He’s also the chief law enforcement officer in the country. He’s the only one with pardon authority at that level,” the retired general said.

“He can declare things based on national security and national emergency issues alone. So he can decide which direction the country goes, and he does it because the majority of the judgment of the American people were imbued into his ability to be able to do that,” he added.

Flynn said the country is in the middle of a political battle between Trump’s “America first” and an attempted far-left socialist takeover that began under Obama.

“You’re saying Paul Ryan and Mike Pence at least were in on this?” Johnson asked.

“Oh yeah, there’s no doubt about it,” Flynn replied.
