Roger Stone, a longtime ally of former US President Donald Trump, is facing backlash for his comments on Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis' wife, Casey DeSantis. Stone, 71, responded to a post on X by former GOP congressional candidate Mike Crispi about Casey mentioning her children during her husband's campaign trail. Stone called her a "c---," sparking outrage on social media. The hashtag 'IStandWithCasey' began trending in response
"#IStandWithCasey is starting to trend. Keep it going! If Conservative media is going to continue to ignore Trump's gutter campaign and the shameful attacks by his surrogates and advisers against Casey DeSantis, then we must be the ones to call it out and stand for what's right," one person wrote.
"Trump surrogates: Roger Stone called Casey DeSantis the C word. Laura Loomer accused Casey DeSantis of faking breast cancer. Johnny Maga made fun of her breast cancer, calling her a 'vampire'. The list goes on. These are his people," another person wrote on X.
Who is Roger Stone's wife?
Roger Stone is married to Nydia Stone. They tied the knot in 1992. Before Nydia, Stone was married to Ann Stone from 1974 to 1990.
In 1996, Stone faced controversy when a report claimed he had placed ads on websites seeking sexual partners for himself and Nydia, leading to his resignation from a post as a consultant to the presidential campaign for Senator Bob Dole. Initially denying the report, Stone later admitted in a 2008 interview with The New Yorker that the ads were authentic.
The couple found themselves in another controversy in 2007 when an expletive-laced message was left on Bernard Spitzer's answering machine, with the investigation tracing the message to Nydia's phone.
In April 2021, the Justice Department filed a civil suit against Stone and Nydia to recover about $2 million in alleged unpaid federal taxes. The following year, Stone agreed to pay more than $2 million in taxes as part of a settlement.
