Longtime Republican strategist and self-described “dirty trickster” Roger Stone has a warning for Trump supporters planning to rally in support of arrested rioters who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6.
Stone called the upcoming rally “agitprop” and “a setup” for MAGA fans without providing evidence.
Per Mediaite:
“Here's my suggestion,” he continued. “The people who will be there will all be working for the government,” he continued, without providing proof. “Nice try.”
Stone said he won't be in attendance.
…
Stone also baselessly remarked that “if there's a single arme[d] protester there, they'll be working for the federal government. This is so obvious. Who would go there armed?”
“Folks, I'm appealing to you,” he continued. “Stay away. Stay safe. Stay in your homes and, by all means, never bring a firearm to the District of Columbia.”
Stone's comments came in an appearance on Russia Today, a Russian state-run international media outlet.
