Roger Stone's Twitter account suspended
28
October, 2017
Roger
Stone's Twitter account has been suspended.
The
suspension appeared to come after the former adviser to President
Trump's election campaign went on a tirade on the social media site
Friday, taking aim at CNN, particularly "CNN Tonight"
anchor Don Lemon and "The Lead" anchor Jake Tapper.
In
the profanity-laced tirade, Stone called certain employees of the
network "human excrement" and accused them of spreading
lies, according to copies of the tweets posted online by Mediaite.
The
series of tweets came after CNN reported that a grand jury had
approved the first charges in special counsel Robert Mueller's
investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
A
spokesperson for Twitter declined to comment about individual
accounts, but pointed The Hill to the social media site's policy on
abusive behavior, which prohibits "behavior that crosses the
line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or
uses fear to silence another user’s voice."
It's
not the first time Stone's had his Twitter account suspended. It was
temporarily taken down in April after he made threatening remarks to
Laura Keiter, the communications director for Media Matters, a
progressive media watchdog group.
His
account was suspended before that in March for apparently violating
the social media site's rules.
