A Twitter flame war erupted between Fox News commentator Geraldo Rivera and paid Donald Trump 2016 campaign adviser Roger Stone yesterday after Rivera called for Trump to fire Stone over his racially-charged tweets calling journalists Roland Martin and Ana Navarro “quota hires.”

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

The above-embedded July 27 tweet was noticed by Roland Martin this week, who responded, calling Stone “despicable.” On Wednesday morning, Geraldo replied to a Mediaite Twitter posting of an article about the back-and-forth between Stone and Martin and called for Trump to fire Stone.

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

Stone then blasted back at Rivera, calling him a “hack.” Rivera responded by threatening to fight Stone, who sometimes appears as a guest on Fox News, next time they bump into each other.

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

For the sake of context, Stone, a Republican opposition researcher and political strategist, also authored the book The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ. During yesterday’s Twitter feud, Stone accused Rivera of selling out in his reporting on the John F. Kennedy assassination.

@GeraldoRivera sold out. TV reporting proved #LBJkilledJFK-inteviewed LBJ mistress -destroyed single bullet- Now agrees with Warren Com #JFK

Mediaite pointed out the fact that Stone also issued a tweet implying that there is more to the story behind a nude, topless selfie that Rivera posted on Twitter in 2013.

@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

Today, Stone commented on Rivera’s threat, claiming to have a “mean right hook” and that he out-weighs the well-known television personality by 70 pounds.

Washed up has-been @GeraldoRivera can't defend his PC bullshit so threatens me violence-outweigh him by 70 lbs and have a mean right hook

— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) August 6, 2015

Vox’s Andrew Prokop, who said that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign messaging sounds like the type of divisive rhetoric for which Stone is known, wrote, “Stone, a Nixon aide who later had the former president’s face tattooed on his back, has long been known for both his hardball tactics as a GOP operative, and the pride he takes in them. He’s been called a ‘legendary political hit man’ and ‘the undisputed master of the black arts of electioneering’ — and that’s according to quotes he put on his own website.”
