‘Boldface fabrication’: General Michael Flynn denies he endorsed Myanmar-style coup in America in viral video
Former Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Flynn has rubbished reports that he had backed an idea of a military-style coup in the US, accusing the media of “twisted reporting” of his remark that was caught on video.
“Let me be VERY CLEAR – There is NO reason whatsoever for any coup in America, and I do not and have not at any time called for any action of that sort,” Flynn posted on what is purportedly his Telegram channel on Monday.

Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn says coup similar to one in Myanmar ‘should happen’ in US
The retired US Army Lieutenant, known for his unwavering support of former President Donald Trump, appeared to suggest that the remark he made at a recent conference in Dallas, Texas, was intentionally misconstrued by the media, as it rushed to seize on the clip.
In the short video, filmed over the weekend and which began making rounds on Monday, Flynn was asked by a supporter “why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here.”
"No reason, I mean,” Flynn responded, before adding: “It should happen here.”
“No reason, that’s right,” he said further. As Flynn was responding to the question, he was constantly interrupted by loud cheers from the crowd.
