Roger Stone Calls On Trump To Fire 'Insubordinate Hillbilly' Jeff Sessions

09/09/2018 02:56 am ET

Southern shade from Trump’s circle.

President Donald Trump’s unfiltered friend and informal adviser Roger Stone called on him Saturday to fire “insubordinate hillbilly” Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Stone, speaking at the right-wing “Mother of All Rallies” in Washington, also said Trump should axe Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

But the “hillbilly” hit on Sessions could be another possible sign of brewing trouble with Trump’s supporters in the South. Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear: Trump In The White House,” claims the president has mocked Sessions’ southern accent, called him a “dumb southerner,” and derided him as “mentally retarded.” Digs against the intelligence of southerners particularly rankle people in the South, regardless of their position on the former Alabama senator.

The White House has denied Woodward’s claims.

Where do they think Florida is located?

Good grief, Florida is Alabama-adjacent!
