[font size=5]Donald Trump breaks with longtime aide Roger Stone [/font]
Donald Trumps campaign says they have fired Roger Stone, the self-described political hit man who has long advised Trump. Stone, however, told msnbc he was not terminated and instead resigned over Trumps behavior.
Trump announced Stones departure in an interview with The Washington Posts Robert Costa, although he suggested Stone may deny his version of events. Stone caused a stir this week after he called Republican strategist Ana Navarro, who is Hispanic, and commentator Roland Martin, who is African American, quota hires on Twitter. ....
Unfortunately, the current controversies involving personalities and provocative media fights have reached such a high volume that it has distracted attention from your platform and overwhelmed your core message, Stone wrote. With this current direction of the candidacy, I no longer can remain involved in your campaign. ....
Mr. Trump fired Roger Stone last night, a spokeperson said in a statement. We have a tremendously successful campaign and Roger wanted to use the campaign for his own personal publicity. He has had a number of articles about him recently and Mr. Trump wants to keep the focus of the campaign on how to Make America Great Again.
Stone isnt the only Trump aide who has left the campaign recently amid a racial controversy Trump recently fired another longtime adviser, Sam Nunberg, after reporters unearthed inflammatory social media posts. Stone, a political gadfly with a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back, has his own long history of outrageous and offensive rhetoric.
