Title: Trump fires transition team member for spreading fake news about Clinton – report

President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly fired a member of his transition staff for spreading a fake news story about an alleged child sex ring run by Hillary Clinton. The story led to an armed confrontation at a Washington DC pizzeria.

Michael G. Flynn, son of Trump’s national security adviser choice Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, was let go by the president-elect on Tuesday, according to The New York Times.

Although it has not been officially confirmed what exactly led to Flynn’s dismissal, the newspaper cited two Trump transition officials who said it had to do with his role in spreading a fake news story which alleged that Hillary Clinton was running a child sex ring from the backrooms of Comet Ping Pong restaurant in Washington DC, a story which has been dubbed ‘Pizzagate.’

The fake news story led to a dangerous incident on Sunday, in which a man who believed the report began shooting inside the restaurant while “self-investigating” the situation. The story has also led to the restaurant’s employees and other nearby business owners receiving death threats.

Just hours after the Sunday incident – and despite law enforcement confirming that there is no investigation taking place regarding any sort of child sex ring at the restaurant – Flynn took to Twitter to say that “until Pizzagate [is] proven to be false, it’ll remain a story…”

Flynn’s exact role in the transition team is a bit fuzzy. Despite reports that he had a team email address, Vice President-elect Mike Pence denied on Tuesday that Flynn had ever worked for the team, telling MSNBC’s Morning Joe program that he had “no involvement in the transition whatsoever.”

Transition spokesman Jason Miller, however, later contradicted Pence’s statement, confirming that Flynn had worked for the transition team but that he was no longer involved.

Meanwhile, CBS News has reported that Flynn was not fired, but rather offered his resignation before he could be dismissed – possibly seconds before – after realizing that he had become a distraction.

Flynn’s apparent sacking is the latest in an ongoing debate on how much fake news influenced the 2016 election, with US President Barack Obama expressing concern about its prevalence while speaking in Germany last month.

No,it's not. He is "Daddy's boy" and WAS being given a ride up the elevator to a life-long position of privilege.

His future now is as a blog owner. He really screwed the pooch on this one,and will be paying the price for it for the rest of his life.

BTW,am I the only one LMAO at the stunning hypocrisy of news organizations like NBC,CBS,ABC,The Washington Post,The New York Times,and many,many others damning someone ELSE for false news stories? It was selling lies that made and keeps them all successful.

No, you are not. Case in point: Keith Ellison isn’t an anti-Semite. He’s the victim of a vicious smear.

Not a peep from the NYTimes when the ADL (SPLC?) tells the FBI that Ron Paul bumper stickers are a sure way to spot a domestic terrorist, but they raise hell when ADL outs Ellison as a Nation of Islam follower, which is true.

“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs

very well stated and you're 100% right. this guy is an avid infowarrior anx devotee of alex Jones, almost oddly so. i posted it last month.

The ironic thing here is that Trump himself appeared on Jones show and praised his work. however, this kid Flynn Jr. seems immature and was clueless about the tact one must use. see where it got him? there is much to be said for the ron paul approach.
