Washington: Retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who has been asked to serve as Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor, on his Twitter account maligned the Muslim faith, shared fake news and interacted with far right and anti-Semitic figures.

A CNN review of Flynn’s Twitter account found that the retired lieutenant general, who once served as head of the Defence Intelligence Agency, tweeted routinely with members of the so-called alt-right movement — a far right ideological group whose members primarily use social media as platform to spread their message, according to IANS.
