It’s hard to feel sorry for Roger Stone - he is a blow hard moron, and has been a drag on Trump’s presidency.
He had done nothing illegal, but when called to testify absolutely lied, and tampered with a witness to cover up his lie.
He was in communication with Wikileaks to push for of Hilary Clinton’s emails to be released. Not a big deal. But then tried to cover it up. He had literally bragged about it on his radio show, so made himself an easy target.
In 1990, Stone and his then-wife, Ann Stone, co-founded Republicans for Choice, an organization dedicated to opposing the Republican party’s strict platform against abortion rights. At that time, Stone argued that the GOP’s opposition to abortion was harmful to the party’s electoral success and described his position as “pro-choice and respect life,” considering it a matter of reducing government interference.
Political Strategy vs. Personal Belief: Stone has often approached the topic from a strategic, rather than strictly ideological, perspective. In 2017, he stated that candidates should focus on fiscal conservatism and avoid intense involvement in social issues like abortion.
Recent Positions: While he has a history of favoring abortion rights, more recently, he has faced scrutiny from political opponents. In a 2022 interview, he denied being pro-abortion, saying that he does not trust the government to regulate the issue and instead prefers to focus on reducing the need for abortions.
He has used strong language against some individuals, at one point in a recorded rant calling a family member of Jared Kushner a “pro-abortion b**ch”.
No, Roger Stone did not lie. It was Steve Bannon who lied under testimony trying to get Roger Stone put in prison. There’s a reason Steve Bannon is frozen out of the Trump circle.
