Roger Stone Cheers as Conspiracists Descend on a Florida Election, Again, to Stop 'Radical Leftists'

Roger Stone Cheers as Conspiracists Descend on a Florida Election, Again, to Stop ‘Radical Leftists’ From Counting Votes

The famous GOP dirty trickster said there was no comparison between the recount fight in 2000, and the one happening now.

LAUDERHILL, Florida—A loose coalition of fringe right-wing personalities, local political activists and associates of longtime GOP trickster and Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone descended upon the Broward County Board of Elections Friday in order to protest the high-stakes recounting of the U.S. senate race between Republican Rick Scott and Democrat Bill Nelson.

The ongoing ballot count, in a race where Scott claimed victory on an election night when he led by less than one half of one percentage point and that Nelson has yet to concede, has drawn a host of far-right internet personalities to Broward.

Former Infowars reporter Joe Biggs declared on Twitter that he was heading to Florida to stop “radical leftists.”

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer, a former James O’Keefe associate who has made her name by yelling at prominent Democrats in a stunt that she calls “Loomering”, said on Twitter that she too was headed to Broward and planned to meet with Stone.

“I’ll #Loomer the whole state of Florida if that’s what it takes,” Loomer tweeted.

Just looking for any news on what our side is doing to organize counter protests and otherwise support Broward County. This sounds just like 2000, where we allowed the Pubs and thugs to frame the issue and bully us into giving up. Has anyone seen any indication that we are fighting back on this?

would keep a low profile right now, yet he persists in drawing attention to himself.
