Longtime Trump Adviser Calls Critic a
“Stupid Ignorant Ugly Bitch”
By Daniel Politi
Roger Stone, the political consultant and longtime
adviser to President Donald Trump, went on a Twitter meltdown on Saturday
night, sending out vulgar and misogynistic tweets to critics. Some of those
tweets have since
been deleted, but others are still in his account, suggesting he
doesn’t regret his entire tirade. Stone was Trump’s top political adviser until
the then-candidate
fired him. (He denied that was the case and says he quit.)
Regardless, he remained a “confidant to Trump,” as the Washington
Post described him and has since published a book on Trump’s
campaign for the presidency.
The political consultant’s night of horrific Twitter
messages began when a Twitter user who identifies as Caroline O under the handle @RVAwonk, asked Stone if
he knew “what libel is” in response to him pushing Trump’s assertion that he
was the victim of a wiretap operation by Obama.
“Bring it! Would enjoy crush u in court and forcing you to eat shit-you stupid
ignorant ugly bitch !” he wrote in
the since-deleted tweet.
Stone then directed his misogynist anger toward
anti-Trump Republican strategist Ana Navarro: “Really? @ananavarro is fat,
stupid and fucking Al Cardenas.” He seemingly doesn’t regret that tweet, because it’s
still up.
The personal attacks then
continued against journalist Yashar Ali:
“go fuck yourself, u talentless asswipe.”
Not satisfied with the public aggression, Stone went
private. “Fuck you, you politically correct asswipe,” he wrote in a direct message to Ali.
Yelling at critics on Twitter is apparently a Saturday
night well-spent, according to
Stone: “Just nothing better than calling out liberal jerk offs on
Twitter. We won, you lost. You’re done!”
In the middle of his personal attacks, Stone also
admitted that he enjoyed a “back channel” to WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange during
the campaign. Stone did delete that tweet, but he has made the same assertion
before, saying in a
TV interview that he had “back-channel communications” with Assange
regarding the release of hacked messages from Democrats. On Saturday night he
repeated that claim on Twitter: “Never denied perfectly legal back channel to
Assange who indeed had the goods on #CrookedHillary.”
Stone is one of several Trump allies who are allegedly
under investigation for possible ties to Russian officials. He has repeatedly
said investigators won’t find anything. “Sure they’ll get my grocery lists;
they may get the emails between my wife and I, but here’s what they won’t get:
any contact with the Russians,” Stone told
CBS News.
