53 organizations to Trump: Dump Flynn as national security adviser

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)Progressive organizations including MoveOn.org and J Street signed a letter with another 51 other nonprofit groups asking that President-elect Donald Trump dump Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn as his national security adviser.

"While deserving respect for the time he has served our country in uniform, we feel General Flynn is unfit for serving in this critical post," the organizations wrote in a statement. "His appointment will damage America's standing in the world and pose a threat to our national security."

Trump's transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment by CNN.

In the letter, the organizations list several reasons why they believe Flynn should not serve in this role, which does not require Senate confirmation, including mentioning past Islamaphobic statements he's made and for peddling anti-Muslim conspiracy theories.

7. Trump is totally perverse, the more people against it, the more he is for it

Trump is a control freak. If the noise was saying Flynn is the greatest,
Trump would dump him.
