Roger Stone Says James Clapper Is A 'C*cksucker' For Worrying About Nuclear War
October 8, 2017

Roger Stone, an unofficial adviser to President Donald Trump and longtime conservative political ratfcker, lashed out at former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for expressing concern that the president's mental state could lead to nuclear war.

In a tweet over the weekend, Stone shared an interview with Clapper from August 2016.

If anyone knows about liars who have no credibility, it would be the Nixon-tattooed Stone.

"I really question his ability, his fitness to be in this office and I also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for it," Clapper told CNN at the time. "Again, having some understanding of the levers that a president can exercise, I worry about, frankly, you know, the access to the nuclear codes."

It was not immediately clear if Stone was aware that the interview is over a year old, but the tweet comes just after Trump suggested that he would take significant military action against a foreign power in the near future.

It's also possible that Stone may be trying to undermine Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for more personal reasons, as rumors swirled around this week that Tillerson was so disgusted that he was considering quitting. Further, Tillerson had a "suicide pact" with Chief of Staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary James Mattis, that if one walked, they all would. Stone's access to Trump would be increased significantly without Kelly's gatekeeping.
