This is vile. @TuckerCarlson not only wrote the introduction to Roger Stone’s book, “Stone’s Rules,” but gleefully acknowledged in that introduction that Stone’s work in 2000 involved “subverting democracy.” They f#cked w/ the 2000 election in plain sight & still revel in it. 1/

This passage literally made me question whether I had a mistaken understanding of the word “subverted.” Nope. It’s just that Tucker Carlson thinks that “subverting democracy” is admirable, & he isn’t afraid to say it. 2/

Roger Stone is apparently proud of his work “subverting democracy” in 2000 bc he slapped Tucker’s intro on the front of his book. 3/

I wrote about the 2000 election here, including Roger Stone’s role in subverting our democracy, and how that election was a harbinger for future elections, including what happened in 2020. 4/ jennycohn1.medium.com/the-2000-u-s-p…

Re: post 1, I have the book, which is how I got the screenshot. It’s real. 5/

I got the book a few months ago, but hadn’t looked at it. I decided to finally take a peek to see if it said anything about Roger Stone’s ties to Tucker Carlson. I was curious due to this FB post by @manhattanmadam (a close friend of Stone) of her & Tucker. 6/

She replied to a few of my posts. She used to work for Tucker at the Daily Caller, which is also interesting. 7/

It was Jacob Engels, a pretend journalist, who initially amplified the bogus letter written by Joel Greenberg that falsely accused Greenberg’s political opponent of child molestation. 9/

Engels was also somehow the first to get the photos of Andrew Gillum, naked & passed out. Ya know, the ones that ruined Gillum’s career. 10/

Greenberg’s political opponent was Brian Beute. Thread by @gal_suburban. 11/

16/ I have heard that Gillum was hacked, which is how the far right knew Gillum was bisexual & then they catfished him. I cannot prove this, but it makes sense.

17/ Jacob Engels also harassed Florida Representative Stephanie Murphy nonstop until she finally announced her unexpected decision to not seek a second term in Congress. This Roger Stone surrogate account credits Engels for her decision to resign. 😡

18/ I wrote about what Roger Stone protege Jacob Engels did to @RepStephMurphy here, as well of some of Stone’s personal “projects.” threadreaderapp.com/thread/1473133…
