Roger Stone on Clubhouse just now says he would get behind Matt Gaetz if Trump decides not to run for president in 2024.
Stone also said he wasn't invited to #CPAC but tossed a Hyatt staffer $100 to let him inside.
A Trump fan speaking with Roger Stone on Clubhouse says she's pretty sure QAnon is a Democratic psyop to make Trump supporters complacent. I have never heard a crazier take except for on @patriottakes.
Oh dear God, Roger told her she's right. "It was a psyop designed to keep our people docile. Be patient? Trust the plan? We trusted the plan. Well, how did that work out?"
The moderators are now calling me out for sharing what Roger Stone is saying in this Clubhouse room. To be clear, it is not against Clubhouse policy to report what is being said. It's only against their policy to share recordings of the conversation.
Trumper: If QAnon was the Democrats, why did Trump sort of give it a nod and kinda act like he was cool with it?
Roger Stone: Bad advice from bad staffers.
(Not verbatim)
These people will believe anything.
Final tweets about this Clubhouse convo:
Roger Stone was critical of Jared Kushner without going into specifics. Everyone hates Jared.
Ryan Girdusky says the only reason Jared Kushner got good press coverage is because he fed inside information to Maggie Haberman (NYT)
Ryan says a friend inside the White House told him Jared Kushner would walk around calling himself the Prime Minister of the White House.
Makes sense he'd want to be like his dad's buddy Benjamin Netanyahu.
As soon as Roger left the call, ALX shut down his suggestion that Q is really Democrats in the government.
That's all for Clubhouse tonight. Next thread will be our weekly Gaslit Nation live thread when the new episode is out.

The Senate "gives a lot of power to states that simply don't have huge populations... Why does this even exist in the first place?" - @AndreaChalupa
The framers wanted to give "the elite, sort of the house of lords, a stronger voice in the shaping of laws." - @AJentleson
I thought we were done with Clubhouse tonight, but now Matt Gaetz is talking to Brad Parscale. Matt wants Brad to figure out how to separate GOP fundraising to get non-Trump supporters out of Congress.
Matt Gaetz says Republicans in Congress who take money from Facebook or Twitter are clearly not really supporting Donald Trump.
I missed most of this Clubhouse room, and it's wrapping up now. Moderators are JENNA ELLIS - yeah her, Brad Parscale, Lynne Patton, and Katrina Pierson.
Matt Gaetz is calling Brad tomorrow to talk strategy.
1. In an appearance on Howard Stern in 2001, A.J. Benza revealed that Trump would brag about having sex with women in Russia. "The girls have no morals," Trump allegedly said. trumpfile.org/a-j-benza-trum…

CPAC is a global operation of the American Conservative Union and other Council for National Policy organizations. CPAC, by itself, plays a role in politics spanning four continents but claims to represent small town Americans.
Back in 1975, CPAC was described as a network of counter activist groups — the ACU, Human Events, and other organizations — interested in making the Republican party a new establishment, “The New Right.” They may be closer to reaching that goal than ever before.
