Michael Flynn’s Family Files $75 Million Defamation Suit Against CNN Over Segment Claiming They Support QAnon

By Rudy TakalaMar 26th, 2021, 10:26 am

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s brother and his wife are suing CNN, claiming the network falsely labeled them as supporters of the QAnon movement.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the Southern District of New York by Jack Flynn and his wife, Leslie, took issue with a Feb. 4 segment on the network that included footage of a July 4 family outing. The footage showed the couple joining Michael Flynn in reciting an oath that included the words, “where we go one, we go all.” The phrase is synonymous with the conspiratorial QAnon movement, but the Flynns contend it represented an oath to the United States Constitution.

“CNN falsely accused Plaintiffs,” the suit contends, “of being ‘followers’ and supporters of the ‘dangerous,’ ‘violent,’ ‘racist,’ ‘extremist,’ ‘insurrectionist,’ ‘domestic terrorism’ movement – QAnon.” After naming CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan, the suit described the incident in question:

In support of O’Sullivan’s comment, CNN produced an edited clip from a video posted to Twitter by General Flynn on July 4, 2020. The video was taken during a Fourth of July barbecue at Plaintiffs’ home in Newport County, Rhode Island. In the video, members of the Flynn family, including plaintiffs, took an oath to the United States Constitution, the same oath taken by members of Congress. After finishing the oath, General Flynn stated, “where we go one, we go all” and the entire family exclaimed, “God Bless America.”

5. So the supporting evidence in their suit is recitation of an oath identical to the one Flynn broke,

while adding "where we go one, we go all".

Mmm-kay, good luck with that! Do they plan to introduce any MITIGATING evidence?
