Michael Flynn at Newsmax: Donald Trump Could Use The Military to Force a New Election

Donald Trump has apparently found suitable replacements for Fox News in the right-wing stations OAN and Newsmax. Michael Flynn is thinking aloud about a coup d’état.

  • Donald Trump: His in-house broadcaster Fox News is no longer fully prepared to continue spreading the lies of the US president who has been voted out of office.
  • In exchange, right-wing TV stations OAN and Newsmax are getting behind Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claims and giving a stage to Trump’s allies like Michael Flynn.

Update from Friday, 18.12.2020, 09:45: Donald Trump had him pardoned recently, since then he apparently feels particularly indebted to the U.S. president-elect: Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser. In a switching conversation of the right-wing channel Newsmax, Flynn brings an option for Trump into play, which according to him is already legitimized by the fact that it has already been used 64 times: Declaring martial law.

This would allow Donald Trump to force those swing states where he lost to Joe Biden to hold new elections. He could also then cash in and replace any voting machine. The conspiracy myth that Trump has successfully made his fans believe since the 2020 US election includes the unsubstantiated claim that the electronic vote-counting machines, or voting machines for short, were rigged in rows.

The retired Army officer is considered a key figure in the Russia scandal. Donald Trump announced on November 25 that he would pardon Michael Flynn. This means that he can no longer be questioned by security agencies about the Russia affair: On December 8, the judge in charge closed the case. As high-ranking members of the Democrats speculated, the outgoing president may have thus also protected himself. It was likely that Flynn had information that could also bring Donald Trump into conflict with the law.

First news of Thursday, 17.12.2020, 06.00: Washington D.C. — After the defeat of Donald Trump in the 2020 U.S. election, even the right-wing channel Fox News was no longer willing to spread the lies of Donald Trump and his supporters: inside such as Rudy Giuliani. Although Trump still gave interviews to the station by phone, Fox News did not take the unsubstantiated allegations of election fraud still being made by the Trump team and set them straight. Trump also noticed Fox News’ change of course, as he shared via Twitter.

Donald Trump: Two right-wing stations take over from Fox News

Now there is speculation about whether Fox News could lose its core viewers. Two right-wing stations, Newsmax and OAN, continue to spread the lies of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and support his accusations of systematic election fraud.

After the Electoral College followed the will of the voters and elected Joe Biden as U.S. president, however, a change of course — albeit a tiny one — was observed at these two right-wing broadcasters, as the Washington Post points out in an article.

Newsmax, the larger of the two stations, referred to Biden as “president-elect” as of this writing. John Bachman, the host of the Newsmax afternoon show, also spoke of how all legal ways to win the election have failed for Trump. “I’m trying to temper all expectations. These judges don’t seem to take these cases. That’s the reality,” the host said of Trump’s failed attempts to sue over the outcome of the 2020 U.S. election.

When a Washington Post journalist on Newsmax criticized the Trump administration for its claims, however, host Bob Sellers again took the Trump side. “It’s funny what you’re saying,” the show’s host tackled him.

The channel OAN was completely different: There, the vote of the Electoral College electors of Joe Biden for US president was simply ignored. Instead, something else was shown. As the Washington Post also reports, the Electoral College vote was also simply omitted from OAN’s news. It remains to be seen how the networks will continue to report after Joe Biden’s inauguration.
