The RI Heritage Hall of Fame voted to induct Gen. Michael Flynn. Now, members are resigning.

PROVIDENCE - The selection of former Trump National Security Adviser − and renowned conspiracy theorist − Mike Flynn as an inductee into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame has led to at least a half dozen resignations from the board that oversees the Hall of Fame.

It also led former Congressman Jim Langevin, who was also selected last week for induction into the honorary Hall of Fame, to serve notice: "If retired General Michael Flynn were to be included in this class I would not accept the nomination."

In her letter of resignation from the board, former Rep. Denise Aiken wrote: "I find that I am unable to be associated with an organization that would choose to honor a criminal who failed to keep this oath to the Constitution of the United States."

"The inclusion of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn flies in the face of honorable service," wrote Aiken, adding in a subsequent interview: "I just couldn't see placing that particular nominee on the same footing with so many fabulous people that have been honored in that way over the many years that it's been in existence."

"What Flynn did is sedition. And to be absolutely clear – it’s a treason that our men and women in uniform would never ever countenance.

"I’m calling for Michael Flynn to be recalled to active duty and court martialed for his treason. Do you agree with me? Add your name today to say you support court martialing Michael Flynn for his treason.

"Flynn violated the oath we all took when we enlisted – to support and defend the Constitution. That oath doesn’t retire when you do."

-- Major General Paul Eaton, US Army (ret.)

2. defending the induction of Flynn into the Hall of Fame "to vindicate Flynn..."

It is a political action, not an 'honoring' action.

3. Flynn

“Flynn has fought enough terrorist networks to understand this pattern: before terrorists detonate, or emplace, or build bombs, a propagandist radicalizes that bomb-making network. Flynn is that propagandist.” Paul Yingling, deputy commander of H.R. McMaster’s cavalry regiment in Iraq

7. I see that Buddy Cianci and Joe Paterno are also on the list.

Buddy Cianci ("Prince of Providence" ) is a special case, but he did go to prison for corruption. It's a travesty that Paterno is on the list.

I knew Antoinette Downing and Bob Lynch in the Seventies--great preservationists of RI's incredible history and architecture.
