Defiant but still divisive, Flynn follows in her father’s footsteps

BEVERLY FLYNN’S father, “Pee” Flynn, was never a politician given to understatement.

When he once described her as a “class act”, a lot of people put it in the same category as other over-the-top and crass statements he had previously made.
