Stone leaves campaign

FiredResignation0 Comments

Stone, an advisor to Trump’s campaign, says he has resigned. However, Trump says he fired him. Stone:

Trump:

I’m going to kick my 2016 campaign into higher gear, cleaning house, no more “publicity seekers”

Excerpt from Stone’s resignation letter:

Restoring national pride and bringing jobs back to America – your initial and still underlying message – is a solid conservative message. In fact, it catapulted you instantly into a commanding lead in the race. Unfortunately, the current controversies involving personalities and provocative media fights have reached such a high volume that it has distracted attention from your platform and overwhelmed your core message. With this current direction of the candidacy, I no longer can remain involved in your campaign.
