So this is what it takes to get CNN to ban you from their network

CNN will not longer feature Roger Stone, a political consultant who is frequently on television as a surrogate for Donald Trump, according to Media Matters. Stone's jaw droppingly racist and vile remarks are what did him in, however, on Twitter he is blaming Hillary Clinton.

-He called Ana Navarro a "pompous shithead" and an "abusive diva" who is "dumber than dogshit." also "Borderline retarded," and "a rabid Pekinese,"

- He also called Roland Martin a "stupid negro" and a "token buffoon" (That'll help Donald secure the votes of African Americans)

To better appreciate this poor victim of HRC click the links provided (if you can stomach them)

Stone has called Fox News contributor Allen West an "arrogant know-it-all negro," mocked contributor Charles Krauthammer -- who was paralyzed in a diving accident when he was in medical school -- by telling him to "stand the fuck up," suggested he wants "to bash Bill O'Reilly's head in," called contributor Herman Cain "Mandingo,"

Stone is a notorious "dirty trickster" who recently co-authored The Clintons' War on Women. The 2015 book is dedicated to -- and cites research from -- a Holocaust denier who blames a "Jewish plot" for the 9/11 attacks. Stone's history includes forming an anti-Hillary Clinton group named "C.U.N.T." during the 2008 election.

Stone worked for Trump's presidential campaign last year and is now organizing against Clinton's campaign again. He is a frequent presence in the media because of his long ties to Trump; their friendship and professional relationship goes back decades.

For some strange reason, I don't really think he actually fired him.

Thanks for saving me the trouble.

Altho..I am sure that further digging would reveal much much worse.
