The NY Times continues:Mr. Flynn was an early and ardent supporter of Mr. Trump's candidacy, and in his resignation he sought to praise the president. "In just three weeks," Mr. Flynn said, the new president "has reoriented American foreign policy in fundamental ways to restore America's leadership position in the world."
Unsurprisingly, Republicans—including leaders like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan—have been quiet on the subject. On CNN this morning, when New York City Governor Andrew Cuomo asked NYC congressman Chris Collins why the GOP had been so quiet about Flynn's departure, Collins replied, "Well, it's Valentine's Day and I guess they're having breakfast with their wives."Democrats, on the other hand, have not held back their joy. Elizabeth Warren, who has become a leading face of resistance in the Democratic Party, took to Twitter to voice her happiness over Flynn's resignation.But in doing so, he inadvertently illustrated the brevity of his tumultuous run at the National Security Council, and the chaos that has gripped the White House in the first weeks of the Trump administration — and created a sense of uncertainty around the world.
Joseph Keith Kellogg Jr., a Vietnam War veteran, has stepped in as the acting national security adviser.Michael Flynn's blinding religious hatred & shady Russian ties disqualified him as NSA on day one. His removal is a win for American values.
