Michael Flynn Demands 'One Religion Under God' At Far-Right Rally

Trump's former national security adviser called for the nation to have a single religion.

In his latest journey to the edge of extreme, Donald Trump ’s former national security adviser and felon Michael Flynn called for a single religion in America.

“If we are going to have one nation under God — which we must — we have to have one religion,” Flynn said in San Antonio at a stop for the far-right  “ReAwaken America ” tour. “One nation under God, and one religion under God.”

Such a vision is completely contrary to the Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of religion, and the separation of church and state.

Ohio state treasurer and Senate candidate Josh Mandel (R) tweeted: “We stand with General Flynn.”

The ReAwaken America tour features Flynn and other Trump allies, such as Roger Stone and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell . It also highlights anti-vaccine doctors including controversial Stella Immanuel , who believes that some medical conditions are caused by demonic sperm when “demons” have sex with humans in their dreams .

Flynn — who was pardoned late last year by Trump after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI — has made several jaw-dropping comments in the past.

In July, when he was gifted a new AR-15-style rifle at a church, he said: “Maybe I’ll find somebody in Washington .” 

In September he was worried about COVID-19 vaccines being added to salad dressing .

But critics appeared especially appalled at his latest position.

Retired Gen. Mark Hertling called Flynn an “embarrassment to the U.S. Army,” and his words “disgusting.”
