“I put that gentleman, Mr. Flynn, among the sunshine patriots,” Clyburn said. “They are patriotic to this country only when the weather is pleasant and pleasing to them.”

After noting the United States’ founding principle of religious freedom, Clyburn said, “I think that the American people need to pay close attention to Mr. Flynn and all others who have been associated with the past president, because they are trying to design an autocracy.”

“They don’t want this democracy to continue because they don’t have any ideas,” Clyburn continued. “They don’t have any constitutional principles, they don’t even have individual principles. And so this country is teetering on edge. We had better pay close attention to these guys.”
