Roger Stone Calls On Trump To Fire 'Insubordinate Hillbilly' Jeff Sessions
09/09/2018 02:56 am ET
Southern shade from Trumps circle.
President Donald Trumps 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 Trumps supporters in the South. Bob Woodwards 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 Woodwards claims.
