Trump confidant and former official advisor Roger Stone told a Utah crowd his pardon from former Republican President Donald Trump was the result of divine intervention.
While campaigning for Utah Republican House candidate Jason Preston, Stone claimed God told Trump to pardon him back in 2020 for his felony convictions of witness tampering, obstructing an official proceeding and making false statements to Congress.
Stone said:
"I’m convinced to this day that God gave Donald Trump the strength and the courage to pardon me in an election year and free me from this vile political persecution."
Campaigning in Utah for Sen Mike Lee, Roger Stone says that he asked Rev Franklin Graham to talk to Trump about pardoning him. Graham said if he prayed and became born again, he \u201cguaranteed\u201d he would get it. Stone says he is convinced God then told Trump to pardon him.pic.twitter.com/B4kRNFNN1N— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1650771062
In another one on one with the Lord, Stone said God told him:
"God came and told me [Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney] needs to be removed from the U.S. Senate."
Oddly, Romney is one of the few Trump critics in the GOP.
Stone urges the crowd to call or visit Mitt Romney's office and urge him to resign.\n\n"Let's do it! Let's do it!" yells one person in the crowd.— Bryan "Patriot Stalker" Schott (@Bryan "Patriot Stalker" Schott) 1650680426

Stone also referred to Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee as a "great American patriot" and Trump as the greatest President since Lincoln during the same rally.
Twitter seemed dubious of Stone's claims of divine intervention and personal conversations with God.

You see that\u2019s it right there. If Roger Stone is endorsing you, you\u2019re one of the bad guys.— thisismydog \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\udf3b\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\udf0a (@thisismydog \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\udf3b\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\udf0a) 1650772903

Funny how they talk about God with their blatant immorality— Donna Lee Copman (@Donna Lee Copman) 1650903456
Stonehead also says God told him about the Utah Senate race. Yet He didn't tell him to get rid of the stupid hat.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/roger-stone-god-donald-trump-pardon-campaign-rally_n_6264ccdfe4b0d0774860d1af\u00a0\u2026— Keith Olbermann (@Keith Olbermann) 1650804250
Roger, god wouldn't talk to u if u were the last human being alive— dwain kitchel (@dwain kitchel) 1650807371
It seems like Trump and company is going all in with God.\nThey know who their base is and they know who will fight for them.\n\n"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag carrying a cross"\n-Sinclair Lewis— Chevron \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\udf0a#Resist #BLM (@Chevron \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\udf0a#Resist #BLM) 1650771207
Trump does nothing to help others unless it also benefits him. Greed and self-interest do not require or even imply courage, let alone the intervention of a deity.— Michael Dominowski (@Michael Dominowski) 1650804715
In 2020, Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison for several felonies before being pardoned by Trump.
