Roger Stone Banned From Twitter After Threatening CNN Anchors

Source: Hollywood Reporter

Roger Stone has been banned from Twitter permanently after a vulgar meltdown Friday aimed at CNN reporters, which included threats, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The close friend and former adviser to Donald Trump went on a tirade after CNN reported Robert Mueller approved the first charges into his investigation on the Russian meddling of the 2016 presidential election.

A spokesperson for Twitter said the company did not comment on individual accounts.

I am shocked they banned him. I actually reported him this morning (Im sure a lot of people did). I figured its worth a shot. Twitter has been much more accommodating the past couple weeks with banning.

I wonder if they ban by ip address, and whether he'll show up on some other account.

It isn't hard at all to get a new email address.

Ask @realDonaldTrump

But he could be @realRogerStone or something similar.

I'm not rooting for the guy, but I think it's pretty hard to "ban" somebody. It's not a private club.

Just sayin'

Doesn't matter anyway. He's up and running from 2 other twitter accounts.

bulbous head tattooed on his stomach now? He can have a rogues gallery of impeached Republican presidents all over his body. That's always a big ice-breaker at parties. The women LOVE that kind of stuff too. He's be a real 'chick' magnet.

He really found the worst of the worst to tear the country apart. Time will tell whether he succeeds or if the whole thing comes crashing down

good to see that name again.

Yeah I can get dark sometimes. Life should be fairly simple, but money and power make us all suffer.

Thanks for thinking of me. I was raising some hell here a couple of days ago. I'm probably lucky not to be timed out right now or whatever it is that they do to you here when you slip the restraints and run free for a while.

I was on Facebook for a couple of months checking in on all the insanity going on over there and about ended up in a straight jacket myself. So, yeah. Good times.

Seriously, it's good to be back here talking with you all. I might sound a little crazy sometimes, but that's par for the course for me.

Coincidentally, a staunch Republican acquaintance of mine was banned from Twitter a few days ago for something similar.

No threats (as far as I know); but lots of very petty, personal attacks against Democratic figures.

Good to see Twitter is tamping down on right-wing hissy fits.

Hindu, Christian, atheist, whatever.... we all know that there is karma in the world. And Stone has to be heading for a major bad karmic fucking over.

Same with Facebook. If you have an account that involves rubles a lot gets overlooked.
