Dallas, Texas – Donald Trump's former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn has denied backing the idea of a Myanmar-style coup in America.

The well-known QAnon sympathizer came under fire on Sunday for appearing to endorse a Myanmar-style coup in the US to reinstate Trump as president, The Hill reported.

Flynn made the remarks in question at a Dallas event on Sunday hosted by QAnon subscribers.

"I want to know why what happened in Minamar [sic] can't happen here?" an audience member asked.

"No reason, I mean, it should happen here. No reason. That's right," Flynn responded.

Many QAnon supporters believe the military will step in to reinstate Trump to the presidency.

Flynn has since denied his support for military intervention in a Telegram post, writing, "There is NO reason whatsoever for any coup in America, and I do not and have not at any time called for any action of that sort."

"Any reporting of any other belief by me is a boldface fabrication based on twisted reporting at a lively panel at a conference of Patriotic Americans who love this country, just as I do," the message continued.

He then accused the media of misquoting him: "let me repeat my response to a question asked at the conference: There is no reason it (a coup) should happen here (in America)."

Meanwhile, NPR reported that the civilian death toll in Myanmar has risen to over 750. Security forces show no sign of backing down after they took over the government in February.
