Roger Stone received a commutation of his conviction from Trump in July 2020, which enabled him to work on the “Stop the Steal” 2020 campaign with Ali Alexander (one of his protégés). 8/

Roger Stone has long specialized in helping dictators, liars, & cheats. It’s what he does. It’s who he is. 21/
It’s what he does. It’s who he is. 22/
Some people are rotten to the core, unsalvageable. 23/
Stone and Mike Caputo (his former driver & future HHS appointee under TFG) even represented a Ukrainian politician AFTER the politician was suspected of ordering the beheading of a journalist who was found decapitated. Putin later gave the politician the Order of Friendship. 24/
Speaking of Mike Caputo (Roger Stone’s former driver & protege). Here he is with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s press Secretary… in Georgia (the country, not the state) … with the former President of that country. 25/
27/ Fox News ran with the Seth Rich lie. It didn’t work out well for them, although I doubt most people know this. Fox had so much egg on its face that they insisted on hiding the multi-million dollar settlement they paid until after the election. thewrap.com/fox-news-seth-…
29/ Yes, Pizzagate was a lie too. Alex Jones apologized only after one of his gullible gun-crazed listeners opened fire inside the pizzeria while searching for the non-existent child prisoners.
30/ Alex Jones’s claim that the child victims of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School were really paid actors? Also false. vox.com/2019/3/31/1828…
Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
