Trump Fires Senior Adviser's Son From Transition for Sharing Fake News
WASHINGTON - President-elect Donald J. Trump on Tuesday fired one of his transition team's staff members, Michael G. Flynn, the son of his designated national security adviser, for using Twitter to spread a fake news story about Hillary Clinton that this weekend led to an armed confrontation in a pizza restaurant in Washington.
"President-elect Donald J. Trump on Tuesday fired one of his transition team’s staff members, Michael G. Flynn, the son of Mr. Trump’s choice for national security adviser, for using Twitter to spread a fake news story about Hillary Clinton that led to an armed confrontation in a pizza restaurant in Washington."




So Trump fired Michael Flynn for spreading #PizzaGate crap. I wonder how his supporters view this? How could they possibly see this as anything but the man himself disavowing this nonsense?
Its going to be like Trump's kids working for him, officially they dont but unofficially they are on his staff. His supporters will also blame liberals for this and use it as more proof the story is real.
"He was getting too close to the truth!!"
Something something Hillary will suicide him. There is a whole web of conspiracies they could use to explain anything and there is always Alex Jones and Breitbart to make up more.
Unfortunately I think mrjazzy has the right of it. Or maybe he had to publicly disavow for whatever inane reason they come up with.
Maybe he should fire Bannon...
