Roger Stone Appears to Use Racial Slur When Pressed on Special Treatment From Trump by Black Radio H

Source: The Daily Beast

Roger Stone appeared to use a racial slur during a live interview Saturday with a Black radio host who pressed him on whether he got special treatment from President Trump. Morris W. O’Kelly, the host of The Mo’Kelly Show, told Stone he believed his close ties with the president “weighed more heavily” in his commutation than Trump simply wanting to right a wrong in the justice system.

"There are thousands of people treated unfairly daily. Hell, your number just happened to come up in the lottery. I'm guessing it was more than just luck, Roger, right?" O’Kelly said.

After a pause on Stone’s end, he apparently began speaking to someone else with him during the interview. The first part of what he said was muffled, but he could clearly be heard complaining about “arguing with this Negro,” apparently in reference to O’Kelly.

always will be. He should have been in prison YEARS ago. I can understand why tRump likes him, they are both racist pigs. Stone's greatest accomplishment was blocking the vote in Florida with that Brooks Brothers invasion. He flew a large group of young men from DC, to interrupt the vote counting, so Al Gore conceded. Slimy little Roger lives to cause trouble, just like the orange asshole in the WH.

I’m gonna make a meme.

As for Stone’s comment—it was deliberate. If he was cut off, let that stand. Don’t give him free PR.

They are what they are. After all that's been said and done the last 4 years, every single remaining Donnie supporter is a racist. Period.

And that’s the right response—there are no innocent victims left. Everything Trump said a Trump supporter owns. There is not a ray of light between them. They are racists.

For 3 1/2 years I’ve pleaded “separate yourself from Trump, just stand up and leave”. Now it’s too late. My response in 2020 is now youse can’t leave.

The word is in my dictionary with no mention of it being a racial slur. I know that the term was used a lot in the past. I recently read a speech made by JFK and he used the word. I think LBJ, who signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, also used the word.
