Former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn sharply criticized former Vice President Mike Pence in a series of posts this week, accusing him of betrayal, hypocrisy, and silence over what Flynn described as one of the most difficult periods of his life and career.
In several statements posted to X, Flynn accused Pence of failing to reach out to him after years of controversy surrounding his prosecution and subsequent exoneration.
“Sadly, it appears a former VP of the USA @Mike_Pence was as bad as they say he was,” Flynn wrote.
He added that the country was facing “a combination of communism creeping into our government, seriously compromised politicians wasting taxpayers’ hard-earned money, and a bloated bureaucracy that needs radical reform and reduction.”

Flynn, who served briefly as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser before being targeted in the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, referenced a resurfaced 2019 thread circulating online.
The thread alleged that Obama administration officials coordinated with members of Pence’s staff during the early stages of the Russia probe.
The claims suggested that then–Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates had violated Justice Department protocols by running a “backchannel” between FBI agent Peter Strzok and Pence’s office.
Flynn cited the allegations as further evidence of what he described as a “deep-state operation” intended to undermine the incoming Trump administration.
In his post, Flynn urged Americans to support President Trump’s efforts to restore trust in government.
“Say a prayer that @realDonaldTrump is the leader that can fix these severe problems. I do everyday,” he wrote.
Hours later, Flynn escalated his criticism of Pence, saying the former vice president never contacted him after his legal ordeal.
“To this day, @Mike_Pence has never reached out,” Flynn said. “Not once did Mr. fake Christian ever call or message me to say; ‘Mike, I’m sorry for what your family went through.’ NOT ONCE.”
He continued, “He was and still is a big phony. Sorry Mike, I don’t hold any grudges (I don’t live like that) but millions of Americans do (and will).”

The dispute between the two men dates back to early 2017, when Flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser after reports surfaced that he had misled Pence about the nature of his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Flynn has consistently argued that his removal and subsequent prosecution were politically motivated, part of what he and his supporters consider a coordinated effort by intelligence officials to damage President Trump’s administration.
In 2020, Flynn received a full presidential pardon from President Trump, who said Flynn had been “the victim of a witch hunt.”
The Justice Department later moved to dismiss the charges against him after internal documents revealed irregularities in how the FBI handled the investigation.
Pence, who has rarely commented on Flynn’s case publicly, has faced increasing criticism from Trump-aligned conservatives since the 2020 election.
His decision to certify the Electoral College results in January 2021 created a lasting divide between him and much of the Republican base, while Flynn’s standing within pro-Trump circles has remained strong.
Flynn’s latest remarks come as President Trump and his allies consolidate control over key positions in Washington following his return to the White House.
Flynn has continued to advocate for large-scale government restructuring, arguing that entrenched interests within the federal bureaucracy have undermined accountability and transparency.
“Radical reform and reduction,” Flynn wrote in one of his posts.
“It’s heartbreaking how corrupt our nation has become.”
