Donald Trump Interviewed Mitt Romney to ‘Torture’ Him, Roger Stone Says
The long-time informal adviser claims that Trump just wanted to see the former presidential candidate squirm.

Donald Trump’s long-time but informal adviser Roger Stone says the Secretary of State job was dangled in front of Mitt Romney in order to “torture” him for previously opposing the president-elect.

During a Sunday appearance on InfoWars with Alex Jones, a conspiratorial media outlet that has become a mouthpiece of the next president, Stone called Romney a “choker” and said that Trump was simply toying with him.

“Donald Trump was interviewing Mitt Romney for Secretary of State in order to torture him,” Stone claimed on the program. “To toy with him. And given the history, that’s completely understandable. Mitt Romney crossed a line. He didn’t just oppose Trump, which is his democratic right, he called him a phony and a fraud. And a con man. And that’s not the kind of man you want as Secretary of State.”

1. Hell, we figured that out right away.

It was kind of entertaining, in a sad and horrifying way, to watch Mitt try unsuccessfully to sell Trump his soul.

[malaise]

5. We knew from the first meeting

[lapfog_1]

2. This says more about Trump than it does about Mittens. - n/t

[malaise]

7. I disagree

They are cut from the same cloth - if I had said those things about anyone, I would not attend a meeting with them - let alone two - and dinner to boot. A nasty groveler with not one conviction.
Seriously -why did he show up?

[Chellee]

13. Thank you.

Exactly. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.

[malaise]

22. The thing is I don't say those words about anyone without meaning them

These are just scumbags - in every sense of the word

[kentuck]

3. It's all for show...

and Trump's gratification.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. That will bit Trump in the ass big time.

Romney has real world contacts were Con Job thinks he has world contacts.

6. Same thing with Al Gore he called him in just to humiliate him,

it is obvious judging by who he is putting in charge of the EPA. I am not criticizing Al Gore he had make the effort to try and change Trump's mind on climate change. But I think he just did it to humiliate him same as Romney, the guy is lower than pond scum.

[WhiteTara]

8. Carley "look at that face" Fiorina got hers

today.

[JI7]

12. i disagree about gore. it was gore who wanted the meeting and it was in private

But with Romney the way they dragged it out in public with ask the leaks were meant to hurt him.

[workinclasszero]

9. This is the pond scum that will be making life and death decisions for America

and the world starting Jan. 20th 2017.

Be afraid.

[AC_Mem]

11. Pond scum

Eating frog legs

[rug]

10. That explains their dinner with Reince Priebus.

[JI7]

14. did Rance peebus know ?

[Willie Pep]

15. I don't know why Romney even had a meeting with Trump.

Romney is wealthy and doesn't need to be Secretary of State. I wish more of these Republicans would show some spine and refuse to deal with Trump. I don't agree with Romney on most things but I respected him as a person but this was sad and pathetic. I lost a lot of respect for Romney.

[ReverendHeretic]

18. I am not a fan of his religion. Or any religion

But, something about Mittens suggests that he has this idea of honor, honesty, and duty. If there was a chance to serve the country and to play SOS in an open, full of integrity fashion, he felt that he had to at least try.

He knows, as we do, that Trump is a loose cannon, a danger, a nut without any shell, and quite probably mentally deranged. Mittens try to lessen the impact.

[Willie Pep]

19. Good point.

Too bad because maybe Romney could have been a voice for sanity in the administration.

[ReverendHeretic]

21. With every new announcement, it seems that he is

taking clear aim at my ideas, sensibilities, and political stances. It is almost uncanny just how bad his choices are. Diametrically opposed to my ideas.

Given how the majority of the country has become more liberal, less religious and quite a bit more fearful of the future under Drumpf

[UTUSN]

16. My theory was DRUMPF wanted to "hire" him to "FIRE" him later.

[Initech]

17. Could he possibly be any more of an asshole????

Just when I think the bar couldn't get any lower.... New depths are reached.

[Dorian Gray]

20. As opposed to a president

who likes to toy with people. That's the type of man we need as president.

Vile human beings. The lot of them.

Sympathy for Mitt here.
