Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone: Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is “going to prison” and is the “lowest form of life known to man”

Trump and his right-wing media allies have been promising political retribution

Roger Stone, the longtime Trump confidant and adviser, recently said that Georgia Gov. “Brian Kemp is going to prison” and “The federal penitentiary is [the] only place he's going.” Stone’s remarks come in the midst of Donald Trump and his right-wing media allies promising political retribution against the former president’s political enemies, including the Republican governor. 

Stone is a Republican operative and commentator who has a history of bigoted, misogynistic, and violent rhetoric. He was convicted of numerous felonies and had his sentence commuted by then-President Donald Trump. 

Stone is a longtime adviser of Trump’s and has said he's known the former president for more than 40 years. Axios and CNN reported in March that Stone is a regular presence at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. He has also hosted Trump officials like Alina Habba and Jason Miller on his radio show. 

Trump has also repeatedly attacked Kemp this month, calling him “a bad guy” and “disloyal.” 

Around the time that Trump reignited his attacks on Kemp, Stone signaled something even darker: The Trump confidant indicated that the governor will end up in prison. 

Stone wrote on August 4 on social media: “Trump won Georgia and it was stolen and Brian Kemp is going to prison. The lowest form of life known to man. A true piece of shit.” He also wrote: “Stacy Abrams beat Kemp's ass. and he knows it. The federal penitentiary is only place he's going.” 

Stone also wrote last September: “Kemp likely stole his election over Stacey Abrams which is why he doesn't want us looking too closely at the 2020 Election. I never want to believe it, but now I do.” 



Laura Loomer, the extremist commentator who has been repeatedly cited and praised by Trump, has also attacked Kemp as “a fraud and a RINO crook.”
