Chaos at Mike Flynn's MAGA nonprofit as aides fight each other in leaked video: report

Newly obtained video reviewed by The Bulwark on Thursday showed a dramatic scene at a home in Venice, Florida, last month, where the niece and nephew of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn squared up to brawl with Liz Crokin, a far-right conspiracy theorist reporter who — much like Flynn himself — has promoted the QAnon movement.The incident, connected to Flynn's nonprofit, culminated in shouting, threats, and slurs being flung every which way, Will Sommer reported.Crokin, a former entertainment journalist ... was also close to the Flynn family at the time, the report noted, serving on the board of an anti-trafficking initiative housed within Michael Flynn’s nonprofit, America’s Future.According to the report, Flynn's siblings, Edward and Kristen Hall, who also sit on the board, became suspicious that Crokin and other outsiders were trying to undermine the family, and everything exploded once the accusations started flying.During the altercation last month, Kristen Hall said Crokin was a “(expletive) (slur)” and repeatedly called her the n-word, while Edward Hall told Crokin to leave immediately, said the report. Kristen Hall continued, “You met your match, (expletive). Listen — you met your (expletive) match, okay? You will not hurt my family. Bye!”When Crokin demanded to know, You think I'm trying to hurt your family? Kristen Hall shot back, Yes! and called her the n-word.Since being charged for lying in the Russia investigation and then receiving a full pardon from Trump, Flynn has been one of the biggest names promoting QAnon, a neo-Nazi-adjacent movement which holds that America is controlled by a secret order of child traffickers.
