Roger Stone sparks anger with ‘derogatory term’ aimed at Casey DeSantis

November 25, 2023 | | Print Article

Longtime Trump advisor Roger Stone is facing growing backlash for calling Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ wife, Casey, a “c–t” for bringing up her children while on the campaign trail.

It all started Wednesday when Casey published an innocuous X post promoting her husband’s campaign for president of the United States.

Look at the post below:

The post featured a photo of Casey with two of her children, as well as the words “earning every vote,” ‘fighting for our future,” and “#FightWeMust.”

A day later, the post inspired a clapback from pro-Trump conservative commentator Mike Crispi, who for whatever reason decided to mock Casey for featuring her kids in it.

It’s in response to this post that Stone decided to insert himself.

“SeeUNextTuesday,” he tweeted, which many see as effectively calling Casey a “c–t.”

How so? If you replaced “See” with C and then add that with the other capital letters (U, N, and T), guess what it spells.

To say this post inspired backlash would be an understatement. In fact, hundreds of responses poured in, blasting Stone and vowing to not vote for the guy he’s been repping, former President Donald Trump.

“Are you actively trying to ensure that even if trump is nominee we won’t vote for him? Because it’s working,” one person wrote.

“Every single time you post you push more and more conservatives away from your idol. Good luck winning with that strategy. You really are a pathetic, little man,” another added.

This isn’t the first time Stone has trash-talked Casey DeSantis.

Back in May, Politico’s Michael Kruse quoted him for a hit piece on her.

“Have you ever noticed how much Ron DeSantis’ wife Casey is like Lady Macbeth?” he said at the time.

All this comes roughly two years after Stone, a close Trump ally, threatened to run against DeSantis in 2022’s Florida gubernatorial race unless he bowed out of the national race.

“Look, I have no illusions about my ability to become elected governor of Florida. That’s not the point here. I believe that Gov. DeSantis, assuming he’s going to run for reelection, should pledge to the people of Florida that he will fill out all four years of a second term,” he said during an interview.

“What I don’t want to see is for him to be re-elected and then immediately abandon Florida to run off and run for president, particularly if he’s running against Donald Trump,” Stone added.

This prompted the interviewer to ask, “Are you saying that even if Donald Trump were to ultimately decide not to run, that Ron DeSantis should be precluded from running for president — that he should remain here for four years, regardless of whether Donald Trump is the nominee or not?”

What the interviewer appeared to be trying to determine was whether Stone’s ultimatum was based more on him desperately wanting DeSantis to stay or on his loyalty to former President Trump.

The GOP operative replied in a way that initially suggested his proposed stunt was about keeping the state’s best governor at the helm.

“I think it would be disingenuous to run for reelection if you don’t didn’t intend to fulfill the job. I just don’t think Florida should be a stepping stone to the presidency, you know, for any person. I’d like to know that he is going to stay here and do the job,” he said.
