President Donald Trump has appointed Gen. Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser and a leader in the extremist QAnon conspiracy theorist movement, to serve on an advisory board for West Point military academy.
Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social account, fulfilling a promise he made to Flynn in 2023 that he would bring him back into the federal government if he won the election.
Flynn posted a video in 2020 showing himself and a small group taking the QAnon oath, emphasizing the QAnon catchphrase “where we go one, we go all.” Flynn was also banned from posting on Twitter in 2021 for violating the site’s policy at the time against accounts “solely dedicated to sharing QAnon content” (under current owner Elon Musk, such content is no longer prohibited).
