Roland Martin Sides With Geraldo To Slam Roger Stone: ‘He’s Pure Trash’

Earlier today, Geraldo Rivera jumped into the Twitter fight going on between Roland Martin and Donald Trump advisor Roger Stone. Martin tweeted that he was appreciative of Rivera’s criticism of Stone, who insulted him by saying that he was only on CNN as a “quota hire:”

Ana Navarro the dumbest person on TV since CNN fired moron @rolandmartin – both quota hires #CNN

— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) July 28, 2015

I laugh at despicable people like @RogerJStoneJr. They think calling me & @ananavarro a racial quota hire causes pain. I LAUGH at him.

Rivera got in on the squabble by siding with Martin and political commentator Ana Navarro, which soon led to his own online food-fight with Stone:

@Mediaite @ananavarro & @rolandmartin have twice the intellect and integrity of @RogerStone. @realDonaldTrump doesn't need thugs like him.

— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) August 5, 2015

@GeraldoRivera is an embarrassing hack fired by FOX for his lack of ratings. Ailes kept him around long past any value. #pathetic

— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) August 5, 2015

@RogerJStoneJr when I see you around Fox News I'm going to kick your racist ass punk

— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) August 5, 2015

@GeraldoRivera– folks need to know the truth about nude SELFIE- defends dumb people on TV because it's PC BS- plays race card

— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) August 5, 2015

Martin tweeted about the fight again tonight, thanking Rivera for his support while saying that Stone’s continuation is not making him any less of a racist:

So now the pathetic and trifling @RogerStoneJr is blasting @GeraldoRivera for speaking up for me & @ananavarro. Stone focuses on race. PUNK.

— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) August 6, 2015

Would @RogerStoneJr ever call a white political analyst at @cnn a quota hire based on their race? Nope. He's pure trash.

— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) August 6, 2015

So everyone needs to know that @realDonaldTrump is getting messaging advice from a race-obsessed head case like @RogerStoneJr. PATHETIC.

— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) August 6, 2015

Punks like @RogerStoneJr can't bring up anything of substance against me & @ananavarro. So he runs to race. Do you endorse @realDonaldTrump?

— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) August 6, 2015

What's shameful is too many members of the media are afraid to challenge @realDonaldTrump for hiring @RogerStoneJr. Its CAMPAIGN CESSPOOL.
