RantCrush Top 5: March 6, 2017

Donald Trump’s former adviser Roger Stone had kind of a Twitter rant meltdown on Saturday night. After Trump’s recent unsubstantiated claims that Obama wiretapped his phones, he tweeted: “The buck stops here. Obama responsible for illegal surveillance of @realDonaldTrump–must be charged, convicted, and jailed.”

After that, a feminist professor using the Twitter handle @RVAWonk tweeted at Stone and asked if he knows what libel is. That was apparently extremely offensive to Stone, who replied, “bring it! Would enjoy crush u in court and forcing you to eat sh*t- you stupid ignorant ugly b*tch!” He has since deleted his tweets, but there are screenshots.

Stone also lashed out at author J.K. Rowling for not housing any refugees, claiming she is hypocritical. He finished off with a tweet saying, “Just nothing better than calling out liberal jerk offs on Twitter. We won, you lost. You’re done!” Mr. Stone, you really need to calm down.
