The second day of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest kicked off Friday with more well-known conservatives in the movement speaking. Headlining the afternoon’s events were General Michael Flynn, Republican National Committee attorney Harmeet Dhillon, and commentators Benny Johnson and Jack Prosobiec.
Flynn generated a round of laughter as he began his speech. “Are there any FBI agents out here?” referencing his previous experience being forced to step down as Trump’s nominee for National Security Advisor due to what many believe was a witch hunt by corrupt intelligence bureaucrats. “I can’t wait for Kash Patel!” Patel is Trump’s nominee for FBI director, who has vowed to go after corrupt Democrats.
Flynn (pictured here) provided a warning, comparing Trump’s election victory to the slow battle to win World War II. “We can’t declare victory over Europe here just yet, I use the metaphor. … we can’t declare victory for the United States of America just yet.”
He said one concern is that there will be more attempts on Trump’s life. He said he spoke to a woman at the conference who relayed that to him. “I think that one of the things that we have to do is we cannot rely, we cannot rely on one man,” Flynn said. “That’s right, okay. God ordained that man. Because what they really wanted is they wanted to turn his head into red mist. Okay? They tried it, not just once, but twice, and they will try it again. This is not about one person. Our country is not about one person. Our country was founded on a bedrock of Judeo-Christian principles and values. Those values, that constitution is impenetrable. We have to be fearless about it.”
