CNN will not longer feature Roger Stone, a political consultant who is frequently on television as a surrogate for Donald Trump, according to Media Matters. Stone's jaw droppingly racist and vile remarks are what did him in, however, on Twitter he is blaming Hillary Clinton.
-He called Ana Navarro a "pompous shithead" and an "abusive diva" who is "dumber than dogshit." also "Borderline retarded," and "a rabid Pekinese,"
- He also called Roland Martin a "stupid negro" and a "token buffoon" (That'll help Donald secure the votes of African Americans)

Stone has called Fox News contributor Allen West an "arrogant know-it-all negro," mocked contributor Charles Krauthammer -- who was paralyzed in a diving accident when he was in medical school -- by telling him to "stand the fuck up," suggested he wants "to bash Bill O'Reilly's head in," called contributor Herman Cain "Mandingo,"

(3,263 posts)Stone is a notorious "dirty trickster" who recently co-authored The Clintons' War on Women. The 2015 book is dedicated to -- and cites research from -- a Holocaust denier who blames a "Jewish plot" for the 9/11 attacks. Stone's history includes forming an anti-Hillary Clinton group named "C.U.N.T." during the 2008 election.
Stone worked for Trump's presidential campaign last year and is now organizing against Clinton's campaign again. He is a frequent presence in the media because of his long ties to Trump; their friendship and professional relationship goes back decades.
