Donald Trump Interviewed Mitt Romney to Torture Him, Roger Stone Says

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.”

Stone’s involvement with the current transition efforts is unclear as he is not formally advising Trump. But the two men have kept a close relationship for years and Stone claims that he was at Trump Tower last week. The transition team did not respond to a request for confirmation about his presence from The Daily Beast.

They kept kissing Trump's wide butt all the way through the campaign.

Romney came out vocally against Trump, then groveled his ass at Trump's summons to an interview.

Mittens you've shown again why you're a loser.

You should have never went and told Trump to go fuck himself with his tiny hands, if he could reach around his wide ass that is.

voice in his mind that said, "Trump is an immoral mess. Morally, I cannot work for this creature, so I will decline to even meet with him."

IOW, the lust for power trumped morality, so Romney has a lot of 'splainin' to do to his Mormon god.
