Lt. Gen. Flynn Retweets Anti-Semitic Message
--------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn-who was on Donald Trump's
vice-presidential short list and who spoke at the convention-has sparked
controversy by re-tweeting an anti-Semitic message. On Sunday, he shared
a tweet reading, "Cnn implicated. 'The USSR is to blame!' … Not anymore,
Jews. Not anymore." The tweet was a reference to Hillary Clinton's
campaign manager claiming on CNN that Russia was behind the DNC email
hack. Flynn deleted the tweet and apologized a few hours later.
