From December 2016: "What's the difference between General Flynn's son and Anwar al-Awlaki?"
Not the title BTW, this is:
Michael Flynn’s son spars with Jake Tapper over fake 'pizzagate' story that led armed man to go to restaurant
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn's son sparred with CNN's Jake Tapper on Twitter over the "pizzagate" conspiracy that led an armed man into a Washington, DC, pizza shop Sunday.
Flynn's son, Michael Flynn Jr., vehemently defended the story, which baselessly alleged that a pedophilia ring involving high-level Democratic Party officials — including Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta — is operating out of a Washington pizzeria called Comet Ping Pong.

What's the difference? Until he changes his course on this, Michael Flynn Jr. is a terrorist motivator and his father, Trump's planned National Security Advisor, should be known "Michael Flynn (father of a terrorist)" with his terrorist son, "Michael Flynn Jr. (the terrorist)".

Exclusive: FBI document warns conspiracy theories are a new domestic terrorism threat
The FBI for the first time has identified fringe conspiracy theories as a domestic terrorist threat, according to a previously unpublicized document obtained by Yahoo News. (Read the document below.)
The FBI intelligence bulletin from the bureau’s Phoenix field office, dated May 30, 2019, describes “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists,” as a growing threat, and notes that it is the first such report to do so. It lists a number of arrests, including some that haven’t been publicized, related to violent incidents motivated by fringe beliefs.
The document specifically mentions QAnon, a shadowy network that believes in a deep state conspiracy against President Trump, and Pizzagate, the theory that a pedophile ring including Clinton associates was being run out of the basement of a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant (which didn’t actually have a basement).
