Former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn sharply criticized former Vice President Mike Pence in a series of posts this week, accusing him of betrayal, hypocrisy, and silence over what Flynn described as one of the most difficult periods of his life and career.
In several statements posted to X, Flynn accused Pence of failing to reach out to him after years of controversy surrounding his prosecution and subsequent exoneration.
“Sadly, it appears a former VP of the USA @Mike_Pence was as bad as they say he was,” Flynn wrote.
He added that the country was facing “a combination of communism creeping into our government, seriously compromised politicians wasting taxpayers’ hard-earned money, and a bloated bureaucracy that needs radical reform and reduction.”

Flynn, who served briefly as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser before being targeted in the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, referenced a resurfaced 2019 thread circulating online.
The thread alleged that Obama administration officials coordinated with members of Pence’s staff during the early stages of the Russia probe.
The claims suggested that then–Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates had violated Justice Department protocols by running a “backchannel” between FBI agent Peter Strzok and Pence’s office.
Flynn cited the allegations as further evidence of what he described as a “deep-state operation” intended to undermine the incoming Trump administration.

In his post, Flynn urged Americans to support President Trump’s efforts to restore trust in government.
“Say a prayer that @realDonaldTrump is the leader that can fix these severe problems. I do everyday,” he wrote.
Hours later, Flynn escalated his criticism of Pence, saying the former vice president never contacted him after his legal ordeal.
“To this day, @Mike_Pence has never reached out,” Flynn said. “Not once did Mr. fake Christian ever call or message me to say; ‘Mike, I’m sorry for what your family went through.’ NOT ONCE.”
He continued, “He was and still is a big phony. Sorry Mike, I don’t hold any grudges (I don’t live like that) but millions of Americans do (and will).”

The dispute between the two men dates back to early 2017, when Flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser after reports surfaced that he had misled Pence about the nature of his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Flynn has consistently argued that his removal and subsequent prosecution were politically motivated, part of what he and his supporters consider a coordinated effort by intelligence officials to damage President Trump’s administration.
In 2020, Flynn received a full presidential pardon from President Trump, who said Flynn had been “the victim of a witch hunt.”
The Justice Department later moved to dismiss the charges against him after internal documents revealed irregularities in how the FBI handled the investigation.
Pence, who has rarely commented on Flynn’s case publicly, has faced increasing criticism from Trump-aligned conservatives since the 2020 election.
His decision to certify the Electoral College results in January 2021 created a lasting divide between him and much of the Republican base, while Flynn’s standing within pro-Trump circles has remained strong.
Flynn’s latest remarks come as President Trump and his allies consolidate control over key positions in Washington following his return to the White House.
Flynn has continued to advocate for large-scale government restructuring, arguing that entrenched interests within the federal bureaucracy have undermined accountability and transparency.
“Radical reform and reduction,” Flynn wrote in one of his posts.
“It’s heartbreaking how corrupt our nation has become.”

Pence is a totally corrupt Deep State RINO, clearly. He told President Trump that Lt. Gen. Flynn had lied about his conversations with Kislyak when Flynn had not. Then Strzok and his partner entered a fake 302 of the FBI’s interview of Flynn in the WH so Flynn would be charged with a 1001 violation. The takedown of Flynn was a conspiracy!
Pence is a RINO political coward. What did it get him in the long run? For all his help to them Democrats ignore him anymore as if he does not exist. MAGA Republicans hold him in contempt. He has no more influence in national politics. He is totally ignored by just about everyone as nobody trusts a political coward.
Pence is all smoke and mirrors. His so called Christian image is just a paper shell. He is like Daddy Bush was to Ron Reagan. Waiting to get his turn and un-do everything that President Trump did. I’m sure he was fully aware that the 2020 election stolen as he ws part of the plot.
The General only needs a bic lighter.
I up you a single match stick!
What kind of flamethrower did he use?
Pence is the John whining to the hooker, “Hey, but last night you said you I was the best you ever had..” Hooker is the Dem party: “I never saw you before in my life, bye, now.”
Pence is one of those holier-than-thou church members who is always there, right on the front row every time the doors are open. Trouble is, he will stab people in the back whenever he can see it might advantage him. Not to be trusted!
Well if the General wants to take Pence to the woodshed, so be it.
Mike Pence is as spineless, pathetic and a WORTHLESS LOSER of a “conservative” politician as they come and I’m quite positive these wonderful attributes bleed over into his personhood….
The Fly Don’t Lie!
Mike Pence doesn’t have a reputation. Pence is a traitor and guilty of insurrection against the elected President of the United States.
Pence quite simply violated his oath of office, almost from the day he swore his oath as VP. Treason. If God doesn’t dispense justice to him first, I hope “equal justice under the law” does.
