Donald John Trump, Pelosi and Blumenaur condemn Trump’s “heinous abuses of power” against Oregon protesters. Federal agents deployed in Portland had no riot control training: NYT Trump administration sought to block funding for CDC, contact tracing, and testing on new relief law: MORE report, on Saturday he called a black radio host a racial slur during a live interview with him.
Stone made the comment while speaking on the “Mr. Mo’Kelly Show,” a program on KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles and hosted by Morris W. O’Kelly. The comment came as the two struck up a conversation about the charges brought against Stone and whether his association with Trump had anything to do with the president’s decision to commute his prison sentence.
“I think certain people are treated differently in the federal justice system,” said O’Kelly. “I really believe that. But I also believe that his friendship, relationship, and history with Donald Trump outweighed him alone because he wanted to make sure that justice was done by someone in the justice system, that they treated him so unfairly.”
“There are thousands of people treated unfairly on a daily basis. Hell, their number just showed up in the lottery. I guess it was more than luck, Roger, right?” I ask.
A moment of silence followed, with Stone seconds later muttering softly, “I really don’t feel like arguing with this nigger.”
“Sorry, what was that?” O’Kelly asked. “Roger? Sorry, what did you say?”
O’Kelly persistently questioned Stone about his comments while Stone remained silent.
“I’m sorry you’re arguing with whom? I thought we were just having a very lively conversation. What happened?” O’Kelly asked.
Stone then responded by stating that his connection was poor. After O’Kelly noticed that Stone said “something about blacks,” Stone replied, “I didn’t, you’re crazy.”
Stone then told The Hill that O’Kelly’s studio engineer was the one who used the “epitaph.”
“Why should everyone on the left label anyone who disagrees with them as ‘racist’? He wrote in an email.
“Anyone who understands my disagreement with President Ronald Reagan over his inability to extend the voting rights law, my continued support for the Nixon administration’s affirmative action policy, my 30-year opposition to the racist drug war and my continued campaign of forgiveness for the first civil rights leader, Marcus Garvey, who was misled by the FBI, and my praise for President Trump’s Second Chance Act knows that I despise racism! “
O’Kelly continued the interview with Stone and said he had let “listeners decide” what they heard. After her conversation ended, she aired that she let the interview continue “to keep her speaking for her benefit, as an audience, and my benefit to have that conversation,” according to The New York Times.
“I’m not anyone’s BLACK,” he said in a tweet after the show. The host added in a tweet on Saturday night that “audio is audio.”
Good night. Audio is audio.

Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison in February after being found guilty of lying to Congress, witnessing manipulation and obstruction of a proceeding. His charges come from the former special lawyer Robert MuellerThe investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
Trump, who had repeatedly hinted to intervene in the Stone case, granted him a pardon in early July. In a statement announcing the move, the White House said Stone was “a victim of Russia’s deception that the left and its media allies perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump presidency.”
After his sentence was commuted, Stone said he planned to campaign for Trump’s re-election.
“I will do whatever it takes to choose my candidate except to break the law,” Stone said in an interview with Axios, adding that he would also write a book on the “myth of Russian collusion.”
