The adviser doesn’t fall far from the Trump tree.
Following in the footsteps of Donald Trump’s anti-Semitic tweets, Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn, a vice presidential runner-up and key adviser to the billionaire’s campaign retweeted a post with a similar hateful message.
“Not anymore, Jews. Not anymore,” the now-deleted retweet by Flynn wrote.
The retired general claimed it was an accident, and that he meant to only retweet the story that was attached to the post, not the anti-Semitic commentary that came with it.
“All, this is what was meant to be retweeted... the earlier retweet was a mistake. My sincerest apologies,” Flynn wrote shortly after deleting the hateful message.
The original tweet was a quoted post of a CNN Politics segment with a Hillary Clinton manager commenting on the Democratic National Convention leak.
