‘F*** the voting – let’s get right to the violence’: said Roger Stone in shocking video
>
Former President Donald Trump’s original political adviser, Roger Stone, was caught on tape making shocking statements in the days leading up to the presidential election.
“F**k the voting, let’s get right to the violence,” Stone is heard to say in footage shot on November 2 by documentary makers Christoffer Guldbrandsen and Frederik Marbell and handed over to the House selection committee on January 6. and obtained by CNN.
In a second clip, which aired on CNN Monday night, Stone hears the Danish film crew tell the Danish film crew on November 1, two days before the election, that Trump must claim victory before the votes are counted — something the then-president did later.
“Let’s hope we celebrate,” Stone said. “I suspect — I really suspect it’s still up in the air. When that happens, the most important thing to do is claim victory. Property is nine-tenths of the law.’
Roger Stone, the original political adviser to former President Donald Trump, was caught making shocking statements in the days before the presidential election in documentary clips handed over to the House Selection Committee on Jan. 6 and obtained Monday by CNN.
NOVEMBER 2: In a clip from the day before the election, Roger Stone can be heard saying, “F*** the vote, let’s start with the violence.” Stone disputed the authenticity of the clips with CNN, which obtained footage that was also handed over to the House selection committee on Jan. 6

“No, we won, damn it, sorry, over, we won,” he continued. “You’re wrong, damn it.”
The clips, CNN said, are part of about eight minutes of the documentary, The Storm Foretold, which Guldbrandsen and Marbell handed over to the House Committee on Jan. 6 after being subpoenaed two months ago.
Stone sent a statement to CNN disputing the authenticity of the clips.
“I challenge the accuracy and authenticity of these videos and believe they have been manipulated and selectively edited. I also point out that the filmmakers do not have the legal right to use them. How ironic that Kim Kardashian and I are both subjected to computer-engineered videos on the same day,” Stone said.
“The extracts you have given below prove nothing, they certainly do not prove that I had anything to do with the events of January 6. That said, it clearly shows that I was arguing for lawful congressional and judicial options,” he added.
Stone’s face is not shown in the November 2 clip.
He has also heard it said, ‘Shoot to kill. See an Antifa, shoot to kill. Done with this b’, from a moving vehicle.
CNN said the footage was captured as Stone left a campaign event with Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, who campaigned for the Georgian Senate seat in a special election against Sen. Kelly Loeffler, the Republican elected to take the seat, and Democrat Raphael Warnock.
The race moved to a second round and Warnock won in January, a day before the attack on the Capitol.

Guldbrandsen and Marbell had access to Stone for about three years.
Investigators from the commission traveled to Denmark to review the footage of the duo, with CNN’s Don Lemon reporting that the filmmakers told him the commission was investigating Stone’s connections to the right-wing groups, the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
The filmmakers told Lemon that they could not establish a connection between Stone, the Trump White House and the groups.
The film crew was contacted by the FBI in March, they also told CNN, but have not shared any footage with the agency.
A number of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys are facing federal charges for the events surrounding January 6.
The House selection committee on Jan. 6 will hold its first hearing of the fall on Wednesday.
Commissioner Deputy Jamie Raskin hinted this weekend that Stone’s connections with extremist groups could be a concern.
“Stay tuned,” Raskin said at the Texas Tribune festival. “He’s someone I think saw where it was going.”
