He has 100 safety guards. I’ll have 5,000 safety guards. You wish to combat, let’s combat. Fuck you. Fuck you and your abortionist bitch daughter.”
Stone made the decision in a automotive in Fort Lauderdale the day of Joe Biden’s inauguration final 12 months when Trump now not had the ability to pardon anybody. It’s unclear who he’s speaking to within the footage.

Stone indicated he anticipated a payback pardon in that case as a result of he saved his mouth shut about damaging data regarding Trump.
The then-president publicly praised Stone for not “flipping” and commuted his sentence earlier than it even started in the summertime of 2020. Trump then pardoned Stone shortly earlier than leaving the White Home.
Stone is at the moment being investigated for activities linked to the rebel. The evening earlier than Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, he urged the group to “combat,” warning that they had been in a battle between the “godly and the godless” and “good and evil.”
