Michael Flynn, the former U.S. National Security adviser under the Trump administration, recently suggested that President Donald Trump deploy the military to "re-run" the 2020 presidential election in the swing states he lost.

On Thursday evening, Flynn appeared on Newsmax's "The Greg Kelly Show" where Kelly asked about ways the president could once again challenge the outcome of the election despite the Electoral College already affirming Biden's win. According to Flynn, Trump could seize all voting machines across the United States and deploy the military to the swing states Biden won during the election.

"He could order, within the swing states if he wanted to, he could take military capabilities and basically rerun an election each in those states," Flynn said.

He also falsely claimed military deployment is not as farfetched as it sounds given the number of times martial law has been instituted in American history. "Martial law has been instituted 64 times," he said. "So I'm not calling for that. We have a constitutional process, and that has to be followed."

However, he failed to highlight the fact that martial law has not been called for an election loss.

Flynn's latest wild remarks come just days after his speech at a recent "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington, D.C., last Saturday. According to The Hill, Flynn expressed support for Trump's continued efforts to challenge the election despite more than 50 dismissed lawsuits in court and no substantial claims to support his voter fraud allegations.

"In this crucible moment of our time, we have to pray that truth triumphs over lies, justice triumphs over abuse and fraud, honesty triumphs over corruption," Flynn said. "Our sacred honor triumphs over infamy."

He added, "Don't get bent out of shape. There are still avenues... We're fighting with faith, and we're fighting with courage."

Although Trump is still obsessed over losing the election and attempting to find solid proof of voter fraud, the Electoral College has solidified President-elect Joe Biden's win.

Much debate has ensued about what exactly to call whatever Trump is attempting right now, and about how worried we should be. It’s true, the whole thing seems ludicrous—the incoherent lawsuits, the late-night champagne given to official election canvassers in Trump hotels, the tweets riddled with grammatical errors and weird capitalization. Trump has been broadly acknowledged as “norm shattering” and some have argued that this is just more of his usual bluster, while others have pointed out terminological issues with calling his endeavors a coup. Coup may not quite capture what we’re witnessing in the United States right now, but there’s also a danger here: Punditry can tend to focus too much on decorum and terminology, like the overachieving students so many of us once were, conflating the ridiculous with the unserious. The incoherence and incompetence of the attempt do not change its nature, however, nor do those traits allow us to dismiss it or ignore it until it finally fails on account of that incompetence.

Part of the problem is that we haven’t developed linguistic precision to put a name to it all—not just to what’s been happening since November, but to the processes within which it’s embedded. That’s dangerous, because language is a tool of survival. The Inuit have many words for snow—because their experience demands that kind of exactness. (The claim had been disputed, but the latest research affirms it.) “These people need to know whether ice is fit to walk on or whether you will sink through it. It’s a matter of life or death,” the linguist Willem DeReuse told New Scientist.

Michael Flynn should face court martial for 'incitement to insurrection': Ex-Colin Powell chief of staff

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is among the far-right Republicans saying President Donald Trump should declare martial law and reconduct the 2020 election because of widespread voter fraud. Many elections officials and national security experts, however, have stressed that there is no evidence that such fraud occurred or that President-elect Joe Biden didn't win the 2020 presidential election fairly. And when Col. Lawrence B. Wilkerson, who served as chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, spoke to MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Monday night, December 21, he expressed his outrage over Flynn's martial law suggestion and recommended that he face court martial.

Wilkerson told Hayes, "I have to commend all those people out there in every state who worked so hard to deliver a free and fair election. At the same time I saw that, I have to say my fears are somewhat significant with a former lieutenant general in the United States Army saying what Flynn said with regard to martial law and going to the battleground states and essentially reconducting the election. Were I the secretary of defense, I'd call him back to active duty — which is in the prerogative of the secretary of defense — and I'd court martial him."

The former Colin Powell chief of staff, who considers Flynn a "disgrace to his uniform," added, "at a minimum, I'd cite him for incitement to insurrection. This is not something that a military officer should do…. He needs to be rebuked. He needs to be reprimanded. And it needs to be done officially."

The 75-year-old Wilkerson was also highly critical of pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell and former Breitbart Media Chairman Steve Bannon — two other extremists who have been making baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.


"These other people like Bannon and Powell and so forth, they're sycophants who are seeking whatever they can gain from the magic aura of this man before it dissipates. It frightens me as to the things they could do if the 25th Amendment or something like it is not implemented and we don't remove (Trump) from office."
