A recording of Trump ally Roger Stone discussing the assassination of Representatives Jerry Nadler and Eric Swalwell has been released by Mediaite, contradicting Stone’s earlier denials.
According to a report by Raw Story on Friday, January 12, 2024, the controversial operative, known for his close ties to former President Donald Trump, is heard on the recording asserting that one of the two Democratic politicians “has to die before the election.”
Mediaite, the online news outlet, first reported on the recording earlier this week, alleging that Stone had engaged in a conversation with a security guard about plans to eliminate the prominent Democratic figures in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election.
Stone vehemently denied the allegations, challenging Mediaite to produce the recording and dismissing the claims as baseless.
However, on Friday, Mediaite fulfilled its promise and published the recording in a video featuring reporter Diana Falzone.
“We do indeed have the recording,” Falzone declared, setting the stage for a revelation that would send shockwaves through the political landscape. She emphasized that the recording had been “lightly edited” to protect the identity of their source.
As the tape rolled, Stone’s voice could be heard stating, “Either Swalwell or Nadler has to die before the election. They need to get the message.
I’m just not putting up with this s–t anymore.” The explosive content of the recording immediately raised questions about Stone’s intentions and his potentially dangerous rhetoric.
This is not the first time Stone has found himself in hot water over violent language. In the lead-up to the 2020 election, he was caught on camera saying, “F–k the voting, let’s get straight to the violence!” These remarks, combined with the newly revealed recording, add fuel to the ongoing debate about the role of inflammatory language in politics and its potential consequences.
The timing of the release is significant, considering the current political climate and the heightened scrutiny surrounding individuals who promote violence or pose a threat to public figures.
Stone’s close association with Trump and his involvement in various political controversies over the years make this revelation all the more alarming.
As news of the recording spread, reactions poured in from across the political spectrum, with many demanding a thorough investigation into Stone’s comments.
Representatives Nadler and Swalwell, both targets of the alleged assassination discussion, are yet to respond publicly to the recording.
The publication of the recording on Mediaite’s website, accompanied by Falzone’s video statement, has triggered a renewed focus on the potential dangers of political rhetoric and the need for accountability.
The fallout from this revelation is likely to reverberate in political circles and may impact Stone’s standing within the Trump loyalist community.
The question now is how the political establishment, law enforcement, and the public will respond to this disturbing audio evidence.
