Politics, Commentary, and Public Statements by Roger Stone

Roger Stone is a veteran American political consultant and strategist with over 50 years in U.S. politics. Known for his work on Republican presidential campaigns from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump, Stone is recognized for his “dirty trickster” reputation and aggressive campaign tactics. Stone has authored several political books, including The Man Who Killed Kennedy and Stone’s Rules, and has appeared frequently in political documentaries. His interest in alternative media channels has led him to discuss topics ranging from censorship to blockchain-based free speech platforms.

Stone’s political career began at age 19, when he worked as a junior staffer on Richard Nixon’s 1972 re-election campaign. He later co-founded the political consulting firm Black, Manafort & Stone, representing clients from Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign to international leaders. Throughout his career, Stone has been a key behind-the-scenes strategist, shaping messaging and opposition research for high-stakes elections. In 2019, he was convicted on charges related to obstruction and witness tampering but was granted clemency by President Trump in 2020. Stone’s flamboyant style, penchant for tailored suits, and deep knowledge of American political history make him a recurring figure in political media and commentary.
