Roger Stone threatens to send Trump supporters to delegate hotel rooms

Longtime Donald Trump ally Roger Stone is threatening to make public the hotel room numbers of Republican National Convention delegates who switch from Trump to another candidate.
"Were going to have protests, demonstrations. We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal," Stone said Monday in a discussion with Stefan Molyneux on Freedomain Radio, as he alleged that Trump's opponents planned to deny the democratic will of Republican primary voters.
"If youre from Pennsylvania, well tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them. You have a right to discuss this, if you voted in the Pennsylvania primary, for example, and your votes are being disallowed," Stone said.
Stone, a Nixon acolyte and master of political dirty tricks, has claimed at various points that the political establishment is trying to steal the Republican nomination from Trump, with whom he formally parted ways last summer but remains an informal adviser of sorts. He's now vowing "days of rage" on the banks of Lake Erie if the Republican Party tries any funny business at the convention in Cleveland.
Sort of interesting to me personally because it was the same exact tactic proposed by the mysterious pro-Trump Twitter personality "Gary Forbes" (actually Gary Pasquariello) around the same time.

Either Pasquariello was merely copycatting Stone's threats, or it was a common theme being pressed by multiple American conduits for Russian trolls in the hopes of fixing things for Trump. Remember, Russian collusion for Trump began long before Trump was the nominee. He had to make it through the Republican field first.

The GOP puts their personal safety above the well-being of the nation.
Sort of like the GOP congressional critters, who put their political seats above the well-being of the nation.
I guess the GOP politicians are the type of people that you would like to have at your back in a life-threatening situation, NOT.
