The exchange occurred on Saturday's 'Mo'Kelly Show,' whose host says of the moment: 'Stone offered an unfiltered, unvarnished one-sentence expression of how he saw the journalist interviewing him'
Roger Stone, a political operative whose 40-month prison sentence was commuted this month by President Donald Trump, his longtime friend, used the racial slur "Negro" on air while verbally sparring with a Los Angeles-based Black radio host., whose host - Morris O'Kelly - grilled Stone on his conviction for lying to Congress, tampering with witnesses and obstructing the House investigation into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
As O'Kelley asserted that Stone's commutation was because of his friendship with Trump, Stone's voice goes faint but can be heard uttering that he was "arguing with this Negro." O’Kelley then asks Stone to repeat the comment, but Stone goes momentarily silent. "I'm sorry you're arguing with whom? I thought we were just having a spirited conversation. What happened?" O'Kelley said. "You said something about ‘Negro.’" During the program, Stone said the president acted out of compassion and that the jury that weighed his case was tainted. "I did not get a fair trial,” Stone said.
