Michael Flynn: I'm Willing To Serve as Trump's VP
At Mike Lindell's sparsely attended election denier pep rally, Mike Flynn signaled to Steve Bannon his willingness to be Trump's vice president. Flynn reminded Bannon he was on Trump's short list for vice president in 2016.
Bannon: "If [Trump] came to you to serve in the second term you're in?"
Flynn: "Yeah, I am."
Bannon: "Number 2, if President Trump came to you and said, 'Mike, I thought about this. I've looked. I want you to run for my vice president. Would you? Are you yeah or nay on that?
Flynn: "Yeah. The thing that I would leave on this question was I was one of the final four candidates in 2016."
Bannon: "People don't remember that."
Flynn: "Yeah, don't remember that. So look back in June of 2016. Christie, Newt Gingrich, Mike Pence, Mike Flynn. The only one that hasn't turned against him the guy who was a former Democrat."
Mike Flynn has spouted conspiracy theories galore, hangs out with the most fringe elements of the QAnon crowd, and once plead guilty to a felony count of making false statements to the FBI. Trump was ultimately pardoned by Trump. This could be the first time we see a pardoned individual running for vice president, an office one heartbeat away from the presidency.
