Trump Pick for National Security Adviser Met with Austria’s Far-Right Nazi-Founded Party

HeadlineDec 21, 2016

Donald Trump’s pick for national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, is drawing criticism for having met with the head of Austria’s anti-immigrant Freedom Party, which was founded by Nazis following World War II. The Nazi-linked Freedom Party nearly won Austria’s presidential race earlier this month. Flynn himself has previously come under fire for having retweeted an anti-Semitic message during the campaign and for having called Islam a “cancer” and saying “fear of Muslims is rational.”
