A new article hit the New York Magazine today that effectively reminded us all of the complete and utter irony in the Right calling us Leftists “snowflakes.”
Shawn McCreesh reported from a “safe space” café for Republicans tucked in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, claiming that Trump ally Roger Stone is living a hard knock life in the luxury area of New York City because he evidently lives in fear that he’ll be attacked by Liberals at every turn.
“A Nixon Republican and Roy Cohn disciple — Nixon lived on Fifth Avenue, and Cohn on East 68th — Stone says he loves New York, but that he hasn’t returned to the city since the FBI raided him in 2019,” McCreesh reported. “When he is here, he claims the Upper West Side is no longer safe for him. ‘People who don’t share my political point of view might verbally and sometimes physically attack me,’ he says.”
Of course, as is customary with these outlandish claims from the Right, and Stone specifically, the staunch Trump ally failed to back up his claim with a single example of a real-life instance where he was attacked by anyone, much less a Liberal. He also went on to reportedly rail against former Trump ally Corey Lewandowski — who was recently ousted from his top Trump super PAC role following sexual misconduct allegations from a GOP donor — ultimately referring to Lewandowski as a “congenital liar and a scumbag.”

Stone, of course, was previously convicted on charges of obstruction and witness tampering in connection to his role in the Trump-Russia fiasco. Ultimately, Donald Trump used his final days in office to commute Stone’s sentence and eventually give him a full pardon for his numerous crimes. However, Trump’s pardon didn’t clear the legal air for Stone.
Far from it, actually.
The Trump ally is currently facing down a civil suit from the Department of Justice with allegations of fraud and tax evasion over his head. In addition, the House committee that’s currently tasked with investigating the January 6th Capitol insurrection has set their sights on Stone, issuing a subpoena for information thanks to pictures that show Stone marching with the Oath Keepers on the morning of the riot.
