Trump campaign advisor Roger Stone calls Dem VP pick Tim Walz a “f*ggot”

Roger Stone — the alt-right’s peripatetic, racist, Trump-whispering court jester — called Kamala Harris’ VP pick on Monday a “f*ggot.”

“I hate to quote Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles, but he was jumping around like a Kansas City f*ggot,” Stone said of Walz on his Rumble podcast The Stonezone.

In 1999, Walz was a teacher and founded his high school’s first gay-straight alliance. His old GSA students still remember him warmly.

Stone — who served as an advisor to Trump’s 2016 campaign and once referred to CNN personality Roland Martin as a “stupid n**ro” — was joined by Turning Point USA flack Kaitlin Sinclair and Slingshot.news Editor-in-Chief Troy Smith, both of whom delighted in the gay slur.

In quoting the iconic movie comedy, Stone not only insulted Walz but a generation of Mel Brooks fans who know the spirit in which the line was originally intended does not align with Stone’s malevolent motives. In the film, an angry man shouts the line at a gang of racists who insult Black workers and begin dancing and singing rather than helping build a railroad like they were hired to do.

Brooks’ representatives at CAA declined to comment.

Stone framed the film reference in a false narrative that Harris’ nomination for the presidency is an “illegal coup” — as if there were such a thing as a legal one — and Joe Biden is hostage to sinister forces beyond his control.

“Now we have the illegal coup in which Joe Biden was forced out — increasingly talking openly about it and seems quite angry to me,” Stone prattled. “Followed by this nondemocratic process in which [Vice President Kamala Harris] was selected as the nominee for president, even though not a single Democrat in the country voted for her, in any primary, or any caucus.”

Over 14 million people voted for the Biden-Harris ticket in Democratic primary and caucus elections in 2024.

Just moments after Stone dropped the f-bomb on Walz, the 71-year-old seemed to lose the thread when he added, “Look, I think name-calling is a mistake and it won’t work.”

In an unvirtuous cycle, Stone went on to mispronounce the vice president’s name and call into question her ethnic identity, applauding a Donald Trump tactic that has Stone’s own fingerprints all over it.

“I personally believe that the president was absolutely right to call Kamala Harris out on her shifting ethnicity for political expediency and benefit,” Stone said. “She’s done it, and it speaks to her character. She’s different things when she goes different places. It’s a legitimate issue.”
