About this listen
On March 10, 2022, while testifying before the Congressional Select Committee on January 6, retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn was asked if he thought the violence on January 6 (2021) was justified. He invoked his 5th Amendment right not to answer the question on the grounds that it might incriminate him. He was next asked if he supported the peaceful transition of power in the United States of America. Again, he invoked the 5th Amendment.
This shocking answer strikes at the heart of our 225 year history of living with the outcomes of free elections. Some candidates running for Congress on November 8, 2022, still embrace Michael Flynn and his willingness to sacrifice our most cherished principle that sustains our constitutional democracy, in order to seize office and power. This cannot stand.
The introduction to this episode is a video aired by NBC News: Concession Speeches From the Last 60 Years of Presidential Races (1960 to 2016). Donald Trump did not concede his loss in 2020.
