The military career of Middletown native Michael Flynn hit a high point when he was named as Donald Trump’s national security adviser in 2016. But Flynn resigned after being in the role for just a few weeks, and he’s better known now as a leader of Christian nationalist movement. The Christian right embraces Trump, and according to Politico, an influential think tank plans to infuse Christian nationalist ideas in the White House if Trump wins in November. What does this mean for democracy? Is the U.S. moving closer to a theocracy? And how did a high-ranking former military official become a conspiracy theorist and a central figure in this movement? I’m Ian Donnis and this week I’m going in-depth with a Providence-based reporter on the investigations team for The Associated Press, Michelle Smith, who has reported extensively on Michael Flynn. She was the correspondent for an October 2022 PBS Frontline documentary on Flynn.
