CNN said Tuesday that it does not plan to have Roger Stone, a former adviser to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, appear on the network in the future.

“He will no longer appear on CNN,” a network spokesperson told Media Matters.

In recent days, Stone has fired off several disparaging comments on Twitter about CNN political commentator Ana Navarro. He’s also previously referred to Navarro and former CNN analyst Roland Martin as “quota hires.”

    Come on Roger (whoever you are) tell us how you really feel!

  2. Never forget. This man was running parts of the Reagan campaign, was behind George H.W. Bush’s infamous Wille Horton ads, has been for years a mouthpiece for Trump for his casino lobbying, worked on Kemp’s campaign, worked on Arlen Spectre’s campaign… this is not just your ordinary racist POS hack that came out of the woodwork. He has been a inside the GOP as political operator and oppo-research hatchet man for the party going back multiple decades.

    This is who the GOP has been throughout my lifetime.

  3. Quite clear why he and Trump are “allies”. And why Trump is almost surely the first presidential candidate since Pat Buchanan to not reject support from Klan members and other white supremacists. Why did CNN ever put this POS on the air to begin with? He has always lived in a sewer.

  4. Lee Atwater was the one “behind” Willie Horton.
