Roger Stone Defends Donald Trump's Attack on Barbara Bush: 'Well She’s Dead and He’s President — Who Won that One?'
Longtime Donald Trump associate Roger Stone defended the president’s recent comments about late first lady Barbara Bush, writing in an Instagram post that “she’s dead and he’s president — who won that one?”
Stone alleged in the social media post, which featured a photograph of Bush, that she once “berated me in a drunken tirade after the campaign I managed for Ronald Reagan beat her husband” in Republican primary races.
He then went on to defend Trump, who has been under criticism for hitting out at Bush after a new biography revealed that the late first lady was not a fan of his. Biographer Susan Page, who was given access to Bush’s diaries, extensively details the late first lady's dislike for Trump dating back to the 1990s.
“She had a “countdown clock” for @realdonaldtrump presidency? Well she’s dead and he’s president — who won that one?” Stone wrote in the post. “Nasty, rude, vindictive, entitled , self-important - that’s the woman I had several unpleasant encounters with.”
In the biography, titled The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of a Dynasty , Bush said that she “probably” didn’t consider herself a Republican any longer due to the rise of Trump. According to the author, the comment was made two months before she died at the age of 92 in April 2018.
“Trump now means greed, selfishness and ugly. So sad,” the late first lady said.
Trump and his friends are all low lifes.
Donald Trump, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone were all Roy Cohn's proteges.
They learned all they know at the feet of The Worst Human Being In History...
Cheap shot on a dead person.
Yep... Stone is just another example of the pillars of morality that today's GOP laud and support......
MAGA up close and personal.
But...……..is the Trump invincible?
So when I go and shit on Stone's grave he will have the same response? Oh wait, he won't.
