So as someone who suffered through the reign of the Democrats, you know, I always felt that at least there was refuge in the Republican Party with President Trump and President Trump supporters, and I’m starting to see that that’s not exactly true. That the MAGA movement that I identify with so strongly is actually fractured between genuine MAGA and what I would call fake MAGA. And I think that anyone who tries to ride President Trump’s coattails for their own fame or money or power is in the category of fake MAGA.
So we have Mike Flynn and Roger Stone, two political schemers. Roger Stone, we don’t even have to talk about because he is a political operative going back decades. Mike Flynn is a little more confusing and amorphous because he presents himself as just a concerned patriot. But in fact, he was closely involved with January 6th and even pleaded the 5th about the level of his involvement.
He really is very active behind the scenes and he has all these associates, some of them anonymous, some of them named, who seem to come up over and over again endorsing him.
He’s got what I think of as a network and what people have called Flynnians.
So Roger Stone and Mike Flynn are closely allied. Roger Stone, according to Laura Loomer, plans to run the campaign of Tulsi Gabbard in 2028 for President.
I think that Mike Flynn, who floated a presidential run for himself, is going to try to get on that ticket. And I think this is extraordinarily dangerous for all Americans, if true, if only based on the fact that Tulsi Gabbard’s friend, should we call him a friend, Joe Kent, just resigned from the DNI and his blasting American foreign policy in Iran, even to a level I would call traitorous. And then he goes on Tucker. There just seems to be a whole orbit of people whose sole purpose is to blame Israel for everything. And I think that’s the political platform they’re going to run on. Very dirty and disingenuous.

This assessment of the current political landscape reflects several verified events from early 2026, though some elements remain speculative or tied to internal party friction.
Joe Kent did indeed resign as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)—a division under DNI Tulsi Gabbard—on March 17, 2026.
In his resignation, Kent explicitly “blasted” the administration’s policy in Iran, claiming the U.S. was being pushed into conflict by “pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” a stance that mirrors the description of his recent media appearances with Tucker Carlson.
On April 2, 2026, reports emerged that Trump had privately polled advisers about replacing Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), expressing frustration that her recent testimony regarding Iran “undercut” his own rationale for military action. While Trump publicly stated he still has confidence in her, he admitted they are “a little bit different in her thought process,” particularly after Gabbard declined to condemn her former deputy, Joe Kent, following his resignation.
Regarding Michael Flynn, it is a matter of public record that he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during his 2022 deposition with the January 6th House Select Committee when asked about the peaceful transition of power and whether the events of that day were justified.
The term “Flynnians” has indeed been used by researchers and critics to describe his dedicated grassroots network.
While the claim that Roger Stone is planning a 2028 campaign for Tulsi Gabbard has been amplified by figures like Laura Loomer, it currently exists as a high-level political rumor rather than an officially launched campaign.
The prospect of a Flynn/Gabbard ticket is a significant point of contention within the “America First” movement, representing a specific non-interventionist faction that is increasingly at odds with the pro-Israel wing of the GOP in 2026.
