Roger Stone Twitter Account Suspended After Obscene, Threatening Rant At CNN Anchors Update

Update Roger Stone’s Twitter account has been suspended, almost certainly permanently. Twitter does not comment on individual comments but Stone’s offending tweets apparently violated the company’s policy against harassment and intimidation. In any case, they’re gone from the site – but you can read them below. Deadline wrote about the offensive rant this morning.

CNN’s Ana Navarro, who was among the targets of Stone’s menacing obscenity-filled tweets, responded to his banishment with appropriate concision: “Boo-hoo. Can you hear me playing my little violin for him?”9

Previous, Saturday a.m. Former Trump adviser Roger Stone reacted to CNN’s then-exclusive news of imminent charges in the Mueller investigation with a string of crude, obscenity-filled, personal and vaguely threatening tweets against the network’s anchors and contributors Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, Ana Navarro, Bill Kristol, Carl Bernstein and Charles Blow.

Two of the tweets against Lemon included homophobic dog-whistles, including one making an obscene reference to oral sex and another calling the anchor an “arrogant partyboi.” (See the tweets below.) The one targeting Kristol mocked his appearance.

I had my account locked for "unusual behavior" and they thought my account might be compromised (the trouble started when I posted on #takeaknee I was new so figuring out and testing Twitter. I'm still not sure how Twitter rules work.

I had to get a call code to unlock my account a pain in the ass.

Most of my 1400 followers reported Stone's homophobic tweets last night. It's good to see Jack taking back his site from those alt-right liars.

could by the sign of a serious break. I was going to say "break from reality" but I'm pretty sure Stone and reality haven't crossed paths in some time. Still, my point is, if the man has friends and family who care about him they should probably keep a close eye on him. The man's about to snap if he hasn't already.

I'm guessing he's so deeply tangled in the maggot's well oiled crime machine there's no way out for him.
