HALL OF SHAME

Mike Flynn’s Induction Spurs Exodus at Rhode Island Hall of Fame

Former Congressman Jim Langevin, who was also selected for induction last week, vowed to reject the offer if Flynn were included.

Half a dozen members of the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame resigned after the induction of Michael Flynn, former President Donald Trump’s shortest-serving national security advisor, The Providence Journal reported Thursday. Former Congressman Jim Langevin, a Democrat, who was also selected for induction last week, vowed to reject the offer if Flynn were included. “If retired General Michael Flynn were to be included in this class I would not accept the nomination,” Langevin said. Another former U.S. representative, Denise Aiken, resigned from the board after Flynn’s induction. “I find that I am unable to be associated with an organization that would choose to honor a criminal who failed to keep this oath to the Constitution of the United States,” she wrote in her resignation letter.
