Michael Flynn will speak publicly Friday for the first time since pleading guilty to lying to the FBI to endorse a far-right Republican candidate challenging Rep. Maxine Waters.
The former Trump national-security adviser will be attend an event on behalf of Omar Navarro, who is once again challenging Waters for Californias 43rd congressional district, two years after losing to her by more than 50 points.

The event also notably included a play in which a reenactor posed as Waters and other people wearing signs reading Antifa ISIS and CNN pretended to beat up singer Joy Villa as she said freedom of speech over and over.

IS THIS THE REAL LIFE? OR IS THIS JUST FANTASY?
An Utterly Strange, Motley Crew of Trumpkins Is Gunning to Defeat Maxine Waters
Roger Stone, Herman Cain, and Joe Arpaio have all thrown their support behind a political neophyte who lost by nearly 50 points the last time he ran.

Navarro has become a cause celebre for some of the biggest political names in the Trump orbita motley nexus of political celebrities, renowned conspiracy theorists, and anti-immigrant zealots. His backers include former presidential candidate Herman Cain, previous Trump adviser and friend Roger Stone, and former member of the Pussycat Dolls Kaya Jones. He has gotten exposure and support from InfoWars, for which he once reported. And most recently, he has fundraised with disgraced-turned-pardoned Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Why all these figures have flocked to Navarro is not entirely clear. A 28-year-old resident of Torrance, California, Navarro hasnt held elected office before. But not for lack of trying. He ran against Waters in 2016, only to lose by more than 50 pointsa blistering defeat that he spun into a positive, proclaiming that he had won an outstanding 25%! of the vote in a predominantly Democratic district.
What seems to be his biggest draw is that he is, simply, there in L.A running against Waters, the bete noire of the Trumpites, who has called repeatedly for the presidents impeachment and openly questioned his sanity.
Youve got the old, horrible, senile, entrenched, crazy lady, vs. a real American, as InfoWars Alex Jones put it during an interview segment with Navarro in May. Throw her ass out!

(9,350 posts)I realize who Alex Jones is and what he does, but I do not like this habit of trying to claim only certain Americans are real Americans. Mrs. Waters is just as much of a real American as anyone else.

(2,078 posts)At the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Terrorism and Illicit Finance hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said there are voices on the internet, specifically on Breitbart and YouTube, that want to kill her.
"I think we should focus a lot on domestic terrorism also. So I would like to ask again, given all that you have said about how difficult it is and the privacy concerns, do you have any thoughts about what we can do to begin to deal with the KKK, the white nationalists, the - the extremists, the Alt-Right?" Waters asked.
"They're on the internet, Breitbart, if you look at YouTube, you see how much they want to kill me and others. What can we do? Anybody, any one of you," Waters said.
