Furthermore, when asked about his comments on Instagram, Stone doubled down.
According to TheWrap, Stone told that publications that Barbara Bush “…said far worse things about me,” and that “Barbara Bush was a vindictive, entitled, mean-spirited woman. May she rest in peace.”’
Trump severed his ties with Stone in 2015 and to this day continues to try and maintain a distance from his former advisor.
The Roger Stone report on @CNN is false – Fake News. Have not spoken to Roger in a long time – had nothing to do with my decision.

Stone however maintains that he resigned and was not let go from his position within the Trump Campaign.
