Stone, who has a tattoo of the 37th president on his back, was a ‘junior scheduler’ on Nixon’s 1972 campaign, the Foundation says.
The organization that safeguards the legacy of President Richard M. Nixon, while also administering his presidential library, has released a statement distancing Nixon from Roger Stone, the former Trump adviser who was indicted on seven counts Friday morning.
This led to many guffaws, as the office of the only U. S. president to resign from office felt the need to back away from Stone. For his part, Stone gave Nixon’s old “v for victory” hand gesture after appearing before television cameras following his indictment Friday.
Stone, as has often been mentioned, has a tattoo of Nixon’s likeness on his back, and has often spoken in interviews about how Nixon is a hero and inspiration for his life’s work. But, as the Foundation pointed out, Stone did not play a major role in the former president’s campaigns or White House.
