How Sarasota Became the Conspiracy Capital of the United States
The video opens like the trailer for a post-apocalyptic movie.
Theres doom-laden bass-heavy music, drone footage of cars backed-up as far as the eye can see, and hundreds of people queuing around the block. Then, a young girl appears on camera, looks straight down the lens, and says: My father sacrificed for your freedom.
But this isnt the latest dystopian movie from Roland Emmerich, its a video from an event organized in Sarasota, Florida last week, where organizers claim thousands of parents were able to get mask mandate waivers signed for their children.
No one is willing to take credit for organizing the event, which took place at a picturesque wedding location near the city of Venice, but one person who is central to the event was disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
You can see the numbers of people that are here to learn about our health and the health tyranny we are facing in this country, Flynn said in the video taken at the event.
It would have been difficult to miss Flynns presence at the event: He brought his own personal security team with him, who were photographed wearing camo gear and carrying assault rifles.
